Re: Quick Poll Results Follow Up - Student Workers in SOC

["Grundig, Thomas J" <tgrundig () BU EDU>]

Hi Ron,

At Boston University we have employee students in InfoSec for years.
We give them many ‘level 1’ SOC tasks, from ticket triage to various ‘clean up’ administrative tasks.
We also like to keep them busy and engaged with at least 1 longer term project that lets them get creative and use 
their skillets.
Our current student built our GoPhish server (open source for internal phishing campaigns) and designs our self-phish 
tests for us.

Regards,
Tom

Subject: [SECURITY] Quick Poll Results Follow Up - Student Workers in SOC

Good Afternoon -

I really appreciated seeing the results of the Quick Poll on InfoSec.

It was very enlightening and could be helpful in growing our information security program.

I did notice the one comment at the end about a school using student workers in their SOC.

I'm interested in hearing from any institution who is doing this and what duties/responsibilities you are assigning to 
students.  I already use student workers in a non IT security area I manage so it might be another area to grow for me 
if it can be helpful.
