Tougaloo College Cybersecurity Clinic

Free Digital Security Services for Under-Resourced Organizations

About the Cybersecurity Clinic

Cybersecurity clinics at higher education institutions provide free digital security services to under-resourced organizations, similar to how law or medical schools offer free community clinics.

The Tougaloo College Cybersecurity Clinic trains students to provide cybersecurity risk reviews and audits; hosts cyber awareness training for students, faculty, and clients; and offers pro bono services for community organizations, churches, healthcare entities, and small businesses.

The clinic, housed in the Mathematics and Computer Science department, recruits students from diverse backgrounds to help organizations at risk defend themselves against cyber-attacks.
