Hacking

Concordia University, St. Paul has agreed to test the strength of its data security against hackers in a unique way. Administrators partnered with three Twin Cities cyber security companies – RedTeam Security Consulting, Beryllium Infosec Collaborative and InteProIQ - and asked them to try and hack into university. They also gave KARE 11 permission to document the whole thing. Here’s what Concordia did well, not so well, and what everyone can learn from the process to avoid a data breach.
