Hot Take:

LSU is stepping up its cyber game, not just to fend off those pesky hackers but to turn their students into cyber warriors. The university's new Security Operations Center (SOC) is kind of like a superhero training camp for the cyber world, only the capes are replaced with keyboards. It's a move that's as smart as it is necessary, considering that cyberattacks are becoming as frequent as spam emails. The SOC is not only aiming to shield the university and other higher institutions in Louisiana but also to provide its students with the kind of real-world experience that makes even the most hardened hacker shake in their boots.
