The university is also partnering with industry leaders to provide students with real-world experience and internships.
The CII will also be a center for research and development in the cybersecurity field. The institute will focus on research into emerging cyber threats, new technologies and techniques for defending against them, and strategies for responding to cyberattacks. The CII will also work to develop new products and services to meet the evolving needs of the cybersecurity industry.
The CII is a major step forward for the University of Tulsa, and it’s a sign of the university’s commitment to providing a world-class education in the field of cybersecurity. With the CII, the university is giving its students the chance to gain the skills and knowledge they need to become successful cybersecurity professionals.
