Cyber Security Students Visit AT&T’s Global Network Operations Center

On Friday, April 21, students in the M.S. in cyber security program visited the AT&T Global Network Operations Center (GNOC) in Bedminster, N.J. AT&T representatives with specialization in cyber security and disaster recovery hosted the event, which included a tour of the facility and presentations on GNOC operations, network capacity and cyber security.

Students learned about the state-of-the-art diagnostic tools the GNOC management team proactively uses to predict and manage over nine million network elements worldwide in real-time. This information allows AT&T to adapt the network to address immediate capacity and security needs before they affect day-to-day business.
