Presentation: ORTSOC: A Clinical Rotations Approach to Professional Cybersecurity Education
Time: 10:30a – 11:00a

ORTSOC is the heart of a new academic program in Cybersecurity at Oregon State University. Adapted from the clinical rotation model long used by our nation’s teaching hospitals, ORTSOC provides experiential learning opportunities for students through a year-long program which is embedded into the curriculum. Guided by experienced professionals, students in the program hone their cybersecurity skills by providing managed cybersecurity services to under-served organizations across the region. For students seeking to start careers in cybersecurity operations, the clinical program offers a carefully structured opportunity to build an experiential bridge between the classroom and professional practice.
