Fifth-year cybersecurity student Mitchell Windahl is on the lookout for sensitive data, and he’s doing it to help a local organization strengthen its digital defenses.
Through the Cybersecurity Clinic at RIT’s ESL Global Cybersecurity Institute, teams of students provide free cyber assessment services and resources to community groups, including nonprofits, small businesses, municipal organizations, and school districts. It is modeled after free clinics at medical schools and law schools.
The aim of the Cybersecurity Clinic is for students to gain valuable hands-on experience while helping real-world clients with limited resources. The projects also serve as an option for students completing their capstone requirements in the cybersecurity degree programs.
