I-Corps: CyberExercises, Instructional Modules Development for Exercise-based Teaching of CyberSecurity Concepts

目前，缺乏或没有全面提供与网络安全有关的线上/线下基于演习的培训和认证方案。提供这样的课程可以对在各种组织中促进网络安全教育和实践产生广泛的影响。这种学习技术可以对提高两年制和四年制大学提供的网络安全课程的质量和数量产生重大影响，从而促进国家对网络安全专业人员的需求呈指数级增长。这个i-Corps团队打算加强网络安全教育学的课程，并提高国家和国际社会在学术界的知识传播能力。拟议的项目引入了线上/线下培训教学模块，通过专业化课程培训对学习网络安全各个方面感兴趣的个人，以及精心设计的分级认证计划，以满足二年制和四年制大学生的需求。该项目还为教师提供科学编制的课程材料，以促进教学。这个项目的主要目标受众是社区学院、高年级和四年制大学教师。这个线上/线下学习发展项目的代号是“网络练习”，它有几个功能纠正了前面提到的问题，因此，为我们的认证计划商业化提供了一个相对独特的市场地位。该项目的第一个也是领先的竞争优势是开发网络安全模拟、演习和攻击用例，旨在复制现实世界的问题。这允许在与参与者特别相关的领域拥有实际操作的专业知识，并提高这些个人否认由他们造成的恶意影响的能力。第二个相关的竞争优势是为每个人定制特定的曲目。有几个网络安全认证计划，但竞争通常有一个通用的计划，导致个人专注于无关的材料，在与自己无关的领域，经常导致无效的信息保留。

At the present time there is a lack or absence of comprehensive offering of online/offline cybersecurity related exercise-based training and a certification program. Offering such a curriculum can have a broad impact on promoting cyber security education and practices across various organizations. This learning technology can have a significant impact on elevating the quality and the quantity of cyber security courses offered by two and four-year colleges and thus fosters an exponential increase in the number of nationally demanded cyber security professionals. This I-Corps team intends to enhance the curriculum in cyber-security pedagogies and raise the knowledge dissemination prowess of the national and international community in academia. The proposed project introduces online/offline training instructional modules to train individuals interested in learning various aspects of cyber-security through specialization tracks along with a leveling certification program carefully crafted to address the needs of students of two and four-year college students. The project also offers scientifically developed course materials for instructors with the aim of facilitating teaching. The primary target audiences in this project are community college, upper division and four year collegiate faculty. This online/offline learning development project is codenamed, "CyberExercises" and has several features that rectify the previously mentioned issues and consequently, provides a relatively unique position in the market to commercialize our certification program. The first and leading competitive advantage with this project is the development of cyber-security simulations, exercises, and attack use cases designed to replicate real world problems. This allows hands-on expertise in areas specifically relevant to the participant and raises the ability of these individuals to negate the malicious effects caused from them. A second relevant competitive advantage is the creation of specific tracks customized to each individual. Several cyber-security certification programs exist, but the competition usually has a generic program that lead individuals to focus on irrelevant material, in fields unrelated to their own, and often results in ineffectual information retention.
