RIT becomes first university to receive support from Google’s Cybersecurity Clinics Fund

Rochester Institute of Technology is receiving $500,000 from the Google Cybersecurity Clinics Fund to train new cybersecurity professionals, while providing services for public good at the same time. The funding from Google.org, the company’s philanthropic arm, is part of a $20 million collaboration with the Consortium of Cybersecurity Clinics that Google’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, announced in June. Modeled after free clinics at law schools and medical schools, RIT’s cybersecurity clinic will deploy teams of students to provide free cyber assessment services and resources to community groups, including nonprofits, small businesses, municipal organizations, and school districts. The aim is for students to gain valuable hands-on experience, while helping real-world clients with limited resources.
