"Boise State 'Cyberdome' Program Trains Students in Responding to Cyberattacks"

A cybersecurity program at Boise State University in Idaho called the Cyberdome is extending its services to rural schools and governments. The program aims to help address technology workforce challenges by training the next generation of cyber professionals. It is a partnership with Steller Cyber's Open XDR platform, a threat detection software powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI). Participating students acquire real-world experience by helping assess cyberattacks against their clients, including rural K-12 school districts, local governments, and other organizations with limited budgets for hiring cybersecurity professionals. Students at the Cyberdome monitored more than 5,000 assets, analyzed over 53,000 potential attacks, and notified clients of 350 possible real-time attacks between January and July of this year. This article continues to discuss the Cyberdome program.
