Dear Colleagues,

We are launching the NCAE-CD Cyber Clinics and Educational Security Operations Centers (SOCs) Initiative, a collaborative effort to advance experiential and practice-based cybersecurity education across the NCAE-C community as part of the CAE Community of Practice in Cyber Defense (CoP-CD).

As we form the initiative committee, we are seeking faculty and practitioners from NCAE-C institutions who have experience developing, operating, or supporting cybersecurity clinics, educational SOCs, student-led SOC environments, or related operational cybersecurity learning programs.

If you or a colleague at your institution has relevant experience in one or more of these areas, we would welcome your participation. We are particularly interested in bringing together institutions with different operational models and maturity levels so the community can exchange lessons learned, implementation practices, resources, and approaches to developing applied cybersecurity competencies.

If you are interested in participating, please contact directly Dr. Faisal Kaleem via: faisal.kaleem@metrostate.edu.

We look forward to building a collaborative community around this important area of cybersecurity education.

Best regards,

Faisal Kaleem and Yoohwan Kim

Co-Chairs, NCAE-CD Cyber Clinics and Educational Security Operations Centers (SOCs) Initiative
