Come August, Temasek Polytechnic (TP) students will be the school’s guardians against hackers.
One of the students, Tanujah Swaminathan, 17, turned into a “hacker” during her first year in the poly.
But all of her hacking was done in a simulated laboratory environment.
Students doing the Diploma in Cyber and Digital Security and Diploma in Digital Forensics will be able to use these skills in real life at two new Security Operations Centres (SOCs) that will be set up in TP by August.
The SOCs are a result of partnerships with two computer companies, IBM and RSA, the Security Division of EMC. Each will help set up and run one of the centres.
