The National University Cybersecurity department is looking to build ongoing relationships with employers. We are proud to be recognized by the National Security Agency (NSA) as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense through 2028. Projects that we'd like to match with generally fall within these 3 categories:Diagnose vulnerabilities through pen testing, thread analysis or mobile forensicsRemediate vulnerabilities that were identified in Project Type 1. Some student teams may be able to do both 1 and 2, but we've found that often, the remediation will need to be done by a future student cohort.Evaluate a company's existing Cybersecurity policy and propose updates that will bring the company in line with federal, state and industry mandates. In cases where a policy doesn't exist, our student teams can draft a policy for approval.All capstone projects integrate the concepts of cybersecurity and information assurance taught throughout the program. Project management techniques and collaboration will be emphasized along with the ethical and legal aspects of the project. Students will work on one main project over the course of three months, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.Project Flow:Month 1 - PlanningMonth 2 - ExecutionMonth 3 - Complete project and outbrief
