Follow on Google News | Digital Defense, Inc. and UTSA Partnership Facilitates Cybersecurity Career ReadinessBy: Digital Defense, Inc. UTSA students and faculty will be able to utilize Digital Defense's flagship Frontline.Cloud™ platform to evaluate the security posture of applications, systems and networks in classroom and lab environments both on and off campus. With Frontline.Cloud, students will not only be able to assess the security posture of software applications and systems they build and run on lab networks, but when coupled with the supervision and course curriculum provided by UTSA faculty they will also learn how to use industry recognized tools to establish and execute an effective vulnerability lifecycle management program. UTSA will have access to three different systems available on the Frontline.Cloud platform. These systems will provide students with vulnerability and web application scanning capabilities, and Digital Defense's new threat scanning solution (Frontline Active Threat Sweep™), which allows testing for hidden threats on target networks. Mark Robinson, assistant professor in practice in the UTSA College of Sciences, will use the Frontline.Cloud platform in the classroom with his students this fall. "As the home of the nation's top program in cybersecurity, UTSA is committed to developing partnerships that provide our students with unparalleled learning experiences so they can become the most competitive candidates in the marketplace," "The alliance of our two San Antonio-based organizations is a natural fit," states Larry Hurtado, president & CEO at Digital Defense. "We are excited to extend our existing relationship with UTSA, primarily focused on making paid internships available to UTSA students, to one that includes assisting UTSA faculty and students with more enhanced classroom cybersecurity learning. As a global Security SaaS platform technology firm, Digital Defense is pleased to provide access to Frontline.Cloud to UTSA, one of the world's leading cybersecurity education institutions. Working together with UTSA we are able to provide a hands-on experience to students, enabling them to solve real-world information security challenges in a classroom setting. These types of skills are in high demand and the future will now be even brighter for these individuals as they enter the workforce." End
