Building Educational Capacity in Cyber Operations

该提案旨在通过在经过验证的远程可访问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体验，使学生和教师获得重要的实践经验。虽然一些学术机构正在开发专门的网络运营项目，还有更多的机构正在尝试整合旨在让学生对这一领域的挑战有深刻基础理解的材料，但体验式学习的机会目前受到个别机构资金的限制；需要提供隔离的实验室基础设施，以便安全地研究这些主题；以及与发展现实的多元文化情景相关的挑战。该CyberCorps: SFS能力建设提案旨在建立在美国国家科学基金会资助的远程可访问虚拟环境（RAVE）项目的成功基础上，以及阿拉斯加费尔班克斯大学（UAF）在开发和交付计算机安全实验室环境和演习方面的十年经验。它开发了网络作战演习，并将其免费提供给全国各机构的教职员工和学生。该项目结合了符合文化的虚拟机来扩展最终场景的现实性，这些场景具有遵循nsf资助的安全注入@ Towson表示模型的一致格式。该项目使用一个专门从事远程可访问环境使用的外部评估人员。

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.
