In high school, Joshua Hartley defended attacks on the gridiron as an offensive lineman. At Norwich, the computer programming phenom studied network defense for malware, cyber attacks, and other malfeasance as a CSIA major. Among other projects, Hartley joined the Norwich team that provided cybersecurity at Super Bowl 50 and served as the lead administrator for the Norwich Threat Analysis Center, a unique effort to deploy thousands of sensors to monitor and analyze attacks across the global Internet. “Even in one year, Norwich ... changed my work ethic,” the high-achieving Hartley says. “In high school, I didn’t perform nearly to my full capacity. When I got to Norwich, I put my full effort into every class and worked for perfection.” Hartley also picked up the guitar during his first year at Norwich. “I spend a lot of time programming. It’s nice to have a hobby that isn’t all ones and zeroes.”
