On October 6th, 2020, the Tech Dawgs invited Trenton Taylor to speak to students about some of the technology and concepts he uses for his job at the Federal Reserve Bank in Kansas City. A graduate of SIU from the Department of Information Systems Technology, Taylor currently works on high performance security, specifically relating to one of their computing clusters.
Students were introduced to key principles of cybersecurity on a network, relating to computing clusters, and were able to ask about some of the challenges of ensuring security on such a large infrastructure. Students also had a chance to learn about DevOps routines and walk through a network security analysis prepared by the guest speaker.
Other points discussed included service monitoring on a cluster and reverse engineering.
Students were able to join via Zoom and the event included a Q&A session after the 50-min event.
