🚨 Intern Spotlight: Northern Strike 🚨

Our intern Tara recently participated in Northern Strike, a military cyber training exercise at Camp Grayling under Joint Task Force 85. 💻

Training alongside military personnel from Latvia & the UK, Tara worked on the Blue Team in a live Red vs. Blue cyber warfare simulation. This multi-day training experience included threat hunting and digital forensics, including analyzing logs, mapping attacks, and securing systems against real-time threats. She also delivered threat intelligence reports and connected with seasoned United States Secret Service trainers.

“At the end of the day, I feel like I quadrupled my cyber skills.” - Tara Mae, Marquette-Alger RESA Intern is a student at Northern Michigan University
