Cybersecurity Remote Education Access Toolkits (CREAT)

德克萨斯农工大学(TAMU)网络安全远程教育访问工具包(CREAT)项目正在制作第一套基于网络的远程访问工具和一个实验实验室的原型，以支持学术机构之间的网络安全实验。Creat正在提供教师培训，并开发一个全面的真实世界案例研究库。能力建设中最关键的挑战是使学员能够掌握基础知识，获得可用和可扩展的工具，并为他们建立一个可持续的社区，以促进他们在这一领域的发展。为了迎接这一挑战，Creat正在从综合的角度进行开发，其中考虑了知识、工具、受训者和社区。CREAT的技术基础是虚拟网络工程实验室(NSF EIA-0081761)的基于Web的访问练习系统(WAES)。CREAT的实习生基金会是德尔玛联盟(NSF DUE-0302734)。智力上的优点。Prototype Creat项目正在为教员创建一个多功能的管理工具，以整合知识、作业和练习。在完全开发后，教员将使用CREAT来制定任务需求、资源、陷阱和入侵响应等。通过简单的用户界面，教员和学生将在现实的练习环境中有效地掌握大量威胁和算法，而不考虑网络安全问题的快速演变。这些资产将极大地提高网络安全教育在师资发展、学生成果和基础设施成本方面的工作效率。更广泛的影响。Creat旨在消除网络安全教育人员和学生之间的知识共享障碍。建立一个有组织的真实世界案例研究库，再加上与网络安全和信息保障有关的不断更新的实验环境，使教师能够迅速适应和采用当前材料，以满足当地需求。少数族裔服务机构的教职员工将可以选择运营自己的实验室，也可以与其他机构合作，提供几乎相同的学习体验。Creat对服务不足人群的网络安全教育的质量和可获得性产生了直接影响。TAMU是美国国家安全局指定的信息保障教育卓越中心，是排名前20位的拉美裔大学之一，在授予拉美裔博士学位方面排名第六，2004年秋季，工程学院的非裔美国人和拉美裔美国人的入学人数分别增加了29%和20%。DMC是美国第12大为拉美裔服务的社区大学，招收了超过2.5万名以第一代为主的大学生。DMC的注册学生中57%是西班牙裔，60%是女性。

The Texas A&M University (TAMU) Cybersecurity Remote Education Access Toolkits (CREAT) Project is prototyping the first set of web-based remote-access tools and an experimental lab to support cybersecurity experiments among academic institutions. CREAT is providing faculty training and developing a repository of comprehensive real-world case studies. The most critical challenge in capacity building is to enable trainees to master foundational knowledge, secure useable and expandable tools, and build a sustainable community for them to further their growth in this field. To meet this challenge, CREAT is being developed from an integrated perspective that considers knowledge, tools, trainees, and communities. The technology foundation of CREAT is the web-based access exercise system (WAES) of the virtual network engineering lab (NSF EIA-0081761). The trainee foundation of CREAT is the DelMar Consortium (NSF Due-0302734). Intellectual merit. The prototype CREAT project is creating a versatile management tool for faculty to integrate knowledge, assignments, and exercises. When fully developed, faculty will use CREAT to formulate mission needs, resources, pitfalls, and intrusion responses, etc. Through a simple user interface, faculty and students will effectively master the vast number of threats and algorithms in a realistic exercise setting, regardless of rapid evolutions of cybersecurity concerns. These assets will greatly improve the productivity of cybersecurity education for faculty development, student outcomes, and infrastructure costs. Broader impact. CREAT is being designed to remove the knowledge sharing barriers among cybersecurity educators and students. Creation of an organized repository of real-world case-studies, coupled with continually updated experimental settings, pertaining to cybersecurity and information assurance is empowering faculty to adapt and adopt current materials for their local needs quickly. Faculty from Minority Serving Institutions will have the choice to run their own labs, or affiliate with other institutions to deliver virtually identical learning experiences. CREAT is having a direct impact on the quality and availability of cybersecurity education for underserved populations. TAMU, a NSA designated Center of Excellence for Information Assurance Education, is among the top 20 colleges for Hispanics, ranked sixth in the awarding of doctoral degrees to Hispanics, and in Fall 2004 increased African American and Hispanic enrollments by 29% and 20%, respectively, in the College of Engineering. DMC, the 12th largest Hispanic serving community college in the nation, enrolls over 25,000 predominately first generation college students. DMC enrollment is 57% Hispanic and 60% female.
