CyberSC, in collaboration with Centurion Cyber Training Solutions, is proud to announce the launch of a groundbreaking training cohort aimed at developing skilled Security Operations Center (SOC) analysts through the SRESFS program at South Carolina State University. This initiative is designed to equip students with critical cybersecurity skills and hands-on experience necessary to protect our nation’s infrastructure from sophisticated cyber threats.

The new program is part of a strategic effort to prepare students to become frontline defenders against escalating cyber-attacks from global adversaries. Participants in the program, drawn from diverse educational backgrounds, will undergo comprehensive training to become Tier 1 SOC analysts, providing essential services to small critical infrastructure organizations targeted by foreign threats.

Program Highlights:

· Intensive Training: Students will receive training on various cybersecurity tools and platforms, including Netography, Open Source Analyst Tools like Abuse IPDB, Alien Vault, Virus Total, and more. 

· Real-World Experience: Interns will work in a structured environment similar to commercial SOCs, where they will report to Tier 2 analysts and handle real cybersecurity incidents under close supervision.

· Supporting Small Infrastructure Organizations: Students will directly contribute to the defense of small critical infrastructure entities that play a pivotal role in maintaining the nation’s backbone but often lack the resources to fend off sophisticated cyber-attacks.

Statement from CyberSC: "We are thrilled to partner with Centurion Cyber to offer this unique opportunity to the bright minds at South Carolina State University," said Tom Scott, Executive Director at CyberSC. "This program not only builds critical cybersecurity capacity but also empowers a new generation to protect our nation from significant cyber threats."

Statement from Centurion Cyber Training: "It is hard for students coming out of our universities and community colleges to get real-world hands-on experience before graduating, said Jonah Wisch, Director of Centurion Cyber Training Solutions, "Our SOC analyst training program gives students the access to apply their knowledge and skills with live data from critical infrastructure partners. There are very few programs like this and the other ones out there gatekeep to students in specific states or universities. We can work with anyone to get their SOC students or teams exposure to a day in the life of a SOC analyst."
