Rochester Institute of Technology

At Rochester Institute of Technology we take cybersecurity very seriously. We believe that everyone needs to learn about security, not just the experts. That's why in the [**Department of Software Engineering**](https://www.se.rit.edu) we require every student to take our [_Engineering Secure Software_](https://www.se.rit.edu/~swen-331) course. In this course, we explore a myriad of engineering mistakes that lead to vulnerabilities. Every year, around 120 students take this course. The Vulnerability History Project is a two-way street with the classroom: what we learn in the classroom shows up here, and vice versa. For students who want to become experts in all things cybsecurity, we have a whole department for that, too. The [Department of Computing Security](https://www.rit.edu/computing/department-computing-security) offers highly flexible major where students can focus on cybersecurity as it applies to penetration testing, networking, system administration, malware, cryptography, and all kinds of other security subdisciplines. Finally, the [RIT Global Cybersecurity Institute](https://www.rit.edu/cybersecurity/) is our interdisciplinary resarch center for all things cybersecurity at RIT.
