SBU's Department of Computer Science, recently designated as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity Research, will use this partnership to advance student education, equipping them with the knowledge needed to address modern threats in a real-world yet controlled environment. RevBits CEO David Schiffer stated that the company is proud to participate in the educational process, particularly in collaboration with Stony Brook University, to help the next generation of cybersecurity administrators develop the skills required to counter growing threats. As one of the first graduates of SBU's Department of Computer Science, returning to campus in a collaborative and educationally enriching capacity is an honor. He noted that in the cybersecurity market, the best defense against threats is a combination of effective solutions and capable, knowledgeable professionals, and the company is delighted to be involved in educating the next generation of cybersecurity experts.

Dr. Amir Rahmati, Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Stony Brook University, stated that the core mission of the Ethos Lab is to advance the frontiers of cybersecurity and privacy research while providing students with the practical skills needed to tackle real-world challenges. The partnership with RevBits bridges a critical gap between academic theory and industry application. By enabling students to gain hands-on experience with a comprehensive security platform and integrating these advanced tools into the curriculum, they are preparing students to protect complex production pipelines and providing valuable experience for their transition into the professional cybersecurity workforce.
