 Red Cell at Georgetown

▪ Students learn how to collect intelligence, conduct analysis, and write assessment reports. By
creating a Red Cell here at Georgetown, we provide a unique learning experience outside of the
classroom, helping students acquire and enhance in-demand alternative analysis skills.

▪ Projects in the Red Cell could focus on either self-attributed topics or address concerns
communicated by the industry. In that capacity, students could produce original analyses for
U.S. businesses and government agencies. The types of analysis include areas such as cyber
watch, cyber threat intelligence, cyber defense analysis, risk assessment, and strategic security
analysis.
