The Information Assurance program at the University of New Mexico has developed the Network Exploitation Security Team. NEST is a new campus-wide student organization for graduate and undergraduate students with various backgrounds and majors who are interested in information systems and security fields.
NEST was started by Catherine Zittlosen, a UNM Anderson MBA student in the IA program, to give its members the opportunity to grow professionally through training and career guidance by security professionals from Sandia National Labs and Central New Mexico Community College and to provide security assistance and reviews to community organizations.
Students interested in joining NEST or community organizations who would like a security assessment can contact Catherine Zittlosen at unm.nest@gmail.com or Alex Seazzu, faculty advisor and Director of the Center for Information Assurance Research & Education, at roma@unm.edu.
