Locations
Arizona Cyber Warfare Range
The Arizona Cyber Warfare Range (AZCWR), a nationally recognized non-profit organization known for its talent, disruptive innovation, and ability to create capable cyber warriors in an active hands-on environment, is partnering with the Center of Excellence. The AZCWR attracts IT professionals and novices alike and consists of a dynamic group of volunteers.
Student Data Center
The student-run data center aims to address the shortcomings of current IT training programs, which rely heavily on vendor-specific certifications that don't provide the necessary integrated skills for real-world IT applications and workforce needs. It is a real-life IT environment, where multiple systems, vendors, technologies, and disciplines are integrated, and subject matter experts communicate and coordinate effectively.
Fusion Center
The Fusion Center is a place where various disciplines can learn about IT and cybersecurity and collaborate. The fusion center is a large active learning space that can accommodate socially distant students. The glass wall separating the fusion center and the CSOC provides a view that gives students a preview of other available activities. In industry, fusion centers are places where multiple agencies come together to share information and resources.
Cyber Security Operations Center
The Cyber Security Operations Center (CSOC) is where students can analyze and monitor international security threat feeds in real-time and correlate data from the data center systems. Students learn to recognize and respond to threats so they can protect organizations in Arizona and across the nation, providing a level of cybersecurity understanding that will enhance all aspects of student learning.
