Re: Training or lab environments for cybersecurity programs at institutions

["Barton, Robert W." <bartonrt () LEWISU EDU>]

Morning,

We isolate them physically from the remainder of the university (network).  The ‘gentleman’s agreement’ we have is that 
all labs, or work that the students do must be benign in nature.  We’re currently setting up our virtual Cisco, 
PaloAlto, and VM learning environments.  I just ran a hands on 9 hour firewall workshop for our Cyber Defense Club 
(they attend competitions in the area).  The administration is a little bit of a mix between the departments, and us in 
the centralized organization.  We are hoping to move to a “we handle the hardware, and OS, and you handle your 
applications, and teaching,” in the near future.  We do have a tech side, and management side to our program.

Subject: [SECURITY] Training or lab environments for cybersecurity programs at institutions

Aims Community College is interested in hearing from other institutions which offer cybersecurity programs for their 
students.  We'd like to hear what type of environment you have set up, how much you have isolated these programs from 
your other student environments and how you're controlling security for those programs.
Thanks for this information!
