Advancing knowledge and practice wherever people interact with information and technology

Conceived last September and officially launched this summer, the Web Application Security Assessment class, headed by lecturer Jennia Hizver, is addressing the major cybersecurity issue of web application data leaks.

A joint venture between the I School’s Master of Information & Cybersecurity (MICS) program and Berkeley IT’s Information Security Office (ISO), the class offers a small batch of cybersecurity students the opportunity to perform hands-on penetration testing of live campus systems and applications.

A team of MIDS students recently presented at the Stanford Maternal & Child Health Research Institute Symposium. Trevor Johnson, Matt Lyons, Anand Patel, and Michelle Shen, who will graduate in December 2022, came together from across the country to showcase their research on the impact of air pollution on certain pediatric health conditions.
