COVA CCI Cybersecurity Clinic Student Application

COVA CCI Cybersecurity Clinic Student Application

The objective of this clinic is to provide cybersecurity awareness and services (education, risk management posture) to client organizations within Hampton Roads while providing an experiential learning opportunity for the students participating in the program as cybersecurity interns/consultants. Specifically, this clinic targets those client organizations that do not have resources for a strong cyber presence (primarily small businesses and public agencies) and who would find value in gaining knowledge of cybersecurity through cybersecurity awareness and services.

This 15-week program will be offered during the fall and spring academic semesters. During the program, students will receive training on different cybersecurity modules, and design thinking prior to their interview with client organizations. The students will work in teams under the supervision of ODU faculty. The team will provide service to the client in one or more areas of cybersecurity network defense, cybersecurity policies and procedures, cybersecurity training for employees, cyber risk assessments, and/or cybersecurity best practices.
