Joseph Shin
Hello my name is Joe and I am the Student Security Operation Center(SOC) Lead. My main goal is to drive the vision and planning of the SOC. I also manage a team of students that operate the various SIEM systems within the SOC. My experience at the SOC has helped me gain valuable skills in cybersecurity, infrastructure and SIEMs as I prepare for my career in cybersecurity.

My time working for the Student Security Operations Center's managing team has been incredibly fulfilling. I've had the opportunity to help mentor and guide our volunteers through their Cyber career journey. Our work has resulted in our volunteers and alumni securing internships and job offers from top tech companies. Contributing to the success of others has been an extremely rewarding experience.

My degree is Computer Information Systems. Before one of my friends introduced me to the SOC, everything I learned about Information Assurance was nebulous and theoretical. But being at the SOC allowed me to interact with the systems and processes I've learned about, as well as explore greater depth and breadth in an interesting, welcoming, and collaborative environment. The SOC and the people there have been so supportive, I wish more people would come to check us out and grow with us!
