Caroline Ruden has been with Ennovar since late 2021. A future Applied Computing graduate
(May 2024) at Wichita State, Caroline works as a Tier 2 SOC Analyst at Spirit AeroSystems.
In her role, Caroline monitors, analyzes, and responds to security incidents within
the organization's network and information systems, utilizing various security tools
and technologies in the process. She also participates in proactive threat hunting
activities to identify potential vulnerabilities before they are exploited.
Having the opportunity to work at both Textron and Spirit, Caroline says "Ennovar
has stretched my corporate knowledge to a whole new level... it has granted me the
ability to network, understand both business and technology in a new light, and has
helped me understand the importance in adapting the ability of fast pace work that
has improved my skill-levels immensely."
Before her education at WSU began, Caroline was at Missouri Western State University
in Saint Joseph, MO. At the time, she was achieving a degree in broadcasting and media
production management. Due to the Covid-19 lockdown her first year of college, she
was unable to attend any in-person events or group meetings.
While Covid negatively impacted her first year, Caroline was actively freelancing
and working on production shoots for collegiate sports and professional sports on
ESPN. It was while working through the lockdowns of 2020 that she realized the security
aspects of broadcasting, which led her into researching cybersecurity and beginning
her new career path. During her time at Wichita State, Caroline has been involved
in multiple clubs like WiCyS (Women in CyberSecurity) and WSU's Nationally Ranked
Bowling Team.
