The university expanded its cybersecurity capabilities with a NZD 25 million virtual Security Operations Center, featuring real-time threat analysis and defense simulations. The facility enables students to experience actual cyber threats in a controlled environment, using advanced AI to simulate evolving attack patterns. During the launch, students successfully defended against a simulated zero-day attack, demonstrating the platform's capabilities. The center announced partnerships with national security agencies and major cybersecurity firms, establishing direct pathways for graduate recruitment.
