“Students need to understand the power of deriving insights from machine-generated data across the IT infrastructure and enterprise systems that run the business, and be able to see and solve operational and security-related challenges proactively,” said Director Lai Poh Hing from School of Information Technology, the NYP.

In collaboration with Splunk—a US based provider for real-time operational intelligence, the project has began in April with students in courses such as Specialist Diploma in IT Security, Information Security, and Information Technology. More than 150 Students have received hands-on training with Splunk software in relevant course modules annually.

This will establish a platform for NYP’s industry partners to engage students in projects that would leverage Splunk’s patent technologies. The collaboration will also prepare students for high-value jobs, and facilitate industry attachments for students at local and international offices, according to him.
