Track 01
Security Operations
If you’re interested in expanding your cybersecurity skills, this is a great opportunity to dive in with professionals in the field. This is a technical and competitive program that will help you grow in your education and potentially in your career after graduation. There will be four hands-on lab sessions for you to apply technical concepts to perform in-depth analysis on potential cyber threats, gaining exposure to enterprise tools and using GreyMatter, ReliaQuest’s proprietary Agentic AI security operations platform.
If you’re interested in expanding your software engineering skills, this is a great opportunity to dive in with professionals in the field. The Software Engineering Track is built for students pursuing careers in software development, AI engineering, and product development. There will be four hands-on lab sessions for you to do actual engineering work, not simulations. Every line of code written during the program aligns with a real ReliaQuest project and is held to production-level standards in GreyMatter, ReliaQuest’s proprietary Agentic AI security operations platform.
