Building Educational Capacity Cyber Operations

项目摘要

This proposal seeks to improve the educational experience of cyber operations students around the nation by creating and deploying culturally diverse educational content in a proven remotely accessible environment, allowing students and faculty to obtain vital hands-on experience. While several academic institutions are developing programs dedicated to cyber operations, and many more are attempting to incorporate materials designed to give students a strong fundamental understanding of the challenges in this arena, experiential learning opportunities are currently limited by individual institutional funding; the need to provide isolated lab infrastructure in which these topics can be safely studied; and the challenges associated with developing realistic multicultural scenarios. This CyberCorps: SFS capacity-building proposal seeks to build on the successful NSF-funded Remotely Accessible Virtualized Environment (RAVE) Project and a decade of experience at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) in developing and delivering computer security lab environments and exercises. It develops cyber operations exercises and makes them available to faculty and students at institutions around the nation at no charge. This project incorporates culturally-appropriate virtual machines to extend the realism of the resulting scenarios which have a consistent format following the NSF-funded Security Injections @ Towson presentation model. The project uses an external evaluator specializing in the use of remotely accessible environments.

该提案旨在通过在可靠的远程访问的环境中创建和部署文化多样化的教育内容来改善全国网络运营学生的教育经验，从而使学生和教师获得重要的动手实践经验。虽然几个学术机构正在开发致力于网络运营的计划，而更多的人正在尝试纳入旨在使学生对该舞台上挑战有深入的基本了解的材料，但当前，体验式学习机会受个人机构资金的限制；需要提供可以安全研究这些主题的孤立实验室基础设施的需求；以及与发展现实的多元文化场景有关的挑战。这项网络科目：SFS能力建设建议旨在以成功的NSF资助的远程可访问的虚拟化环境（RAVE）项目为基础，并在阿拉斯加大学Fairbanks（UAF）（UAF）开发和提供计算机安全实验室环境和练习方面拥有十年的经验。它开发了网络运营练习，并无需免费提供全国机构的教职员工和学生。该项目结合了适合文化的虚拟机器，以扩展所得场景的现实主义，该场景遵循NSF资助的安全性注入 @陶森演示模型，具有一致的格式。该项目使用专门使用远程访问环境的外部评估器。
