To maintain the security of rapidly changing computing systems, information assurance professionals require extensive ongoing education and practical training. This project is meeting the need for practical, hands-on instruction by establishing a state-of-the-art laboratory to support ongoing efforts at Stevens Institute of Technology in building capacity in information assurance and computer security education. The main objective of this project is the creation of a hands-on laboratory where students are engaging in learning by doing, experimental security research projects are being carried out, and students are exploring innovative educational ideas. In particular, a primary use of the lab is an undergraduate security lab course involving experimentation with specific security solutions, vulnerabilities, and exploits. The lab is augmenting new interdisciplinary cybersecurity degree programs at Stevens. Intellectual Merit. The project is advancing the state of the art in comprehensive cybersecurity education. In particular, the laboratory is enabling students to obtain the best possible practical training in security and information assurance in order to better prepare them to meet the challenges of protecting and securing our nation's information infrastructure. Broader Impact. The laboratory is helping to increase the number of IT professionals educated and trained in not only theoretical but also practical aspects in information assurance and security. As such it is enhancing their capabilities to better secure critical infrastructures both in the governmental and the private sectors and providing significant economic and social benefit to society. Moreover, the project is integrating research and education, and through K-12 collaborations, is providing Stevens students with the opportunity to educate the next generation.

为了维护快速变化的计算系统的安全，信息保证专业人员需要广泛的持续教育和实践培训。该项目通过建立一个最先进的实验室，以支持史蒂文斯理工学院在信息保障和计算机安全教育方面的能力建设方面正在进行的努力，满足了对实际动手教学的需求。该项目的主要目标是创建一个实践实验室，学生们在实验室里边做边学，正在开展实验性安全研究项目，学生们正在探索创新的教育理念。特别是，实验室的主要用途是本科安全实验室课程，涉及特定安全解决方案，漏洞和漏洞的实验。该实验室正在加强史蒂文斯新的跨学科网络安全学位课程。智力优势。该项目正在推进综合网络安全教育的最新水平。特别是，该实验室使学生能够获得最好的安全和信息保障方面的实践培训，以便更好地为他们做好准备，以应对保护和保障我们国家信息基础设施的挑战。更广泛的影响。该实验室正在帮助增加信息技术专业人员的数量，这些专业人员不仅在信息保证和安全方面接受了理论方面的教育和培训，而且还接受了实践方面的教育和培训。因此，它正在加强它们的能力，以更好地保障政府和私营部门的重要基础设施，并为社会提供重大的经济和社会效益。此外，该项目正在整合研究和教育，并通过K-12合作，为史蒂文斯学生提供教育下一代的机会。
