An increasing number of higher education leaders are adding cyber range training to their curriculums to provide their students with hands-on, simulation-based practice sessions using hyper-realistic IT environments and attack scenarios. The approach of using a cyber range poses numerous benefits to academic institutions. A key decision in the establishment of an academic cyber range is whether to build it internally or buy a ready-made cyber range product. This white paper elaborates the pros and cons of building your own cyber range versus buying one off-the-shelf.

Discover the key elements required in an academic cyber range.

The new SANS SOC Survey published in August 2018 shows limited satisfaction with current SOC performance and the lack of a clear vision of excellence or a pathway to excellence. Download the free SANS report with over 25 eye-opening charts revealing the state of the SOC for 2018.

Some of the key takeaways :

• Lack of skilled staff is the #1 SOC shortcoming, inadequate automation/orchestration is at #2.
• Only 54% of SOCs use metrics.
• Asset discovery and inventory tool satisfaction are rated lowest of all technologies.
• Most meaningful event correlation continues to be highly manual.
• 54% of respondents do not consider their SOCs a security provider to their businesses.
• 31% of SOCs are staffed with 2–5 people, 36% of SOCS are staffed with 6 to 25 SOC personnel, while 11% had 26 to 100 SOC staff members.

This whitepaper will describe how Cyberbit SCADAShield helps ICS organizations that seek the highest level of cybersecurity achieve Tier 4 adaptive risk management.
The SCADAShield platform enables organizations to move from simple ICS perimeter security to continuous ICS threat monitoring, asset discovery, and threat intelligence.
In particular, ICS-specific behavioral analytics and machine learning rapidly detect anomalous behavior.

Higher education institutions recognize a tremendous opportunity in cybersecurity – one of the most sought-after fields today.

Academies can build and provide state-of-the art cybersecurity education programs to train the next generation of cybersecurity professionals. Just this year, several U.S. academic institutions launched their own cybersecurity degree programs, some of them incorporating hyper-realistic cyber simulation education, providing students with true-to-life cyber security experience as part of their studies

• How academies are adapting to the challenges of educating cybersecurity specialists in the 21st century
• What you should know before building a cybersecurity academic syllabus
• Technologies you should consider when planning an academic cybersecurity syllabus

Read how a major European energy company gained full visibility and security of OT network activity to detect cyber threats, system malfunctions, and network and equipment problems.

This whitepaper outlines hands-on exercises that should accompany core courses offered in academic cybersecurity degree programs.

Faculty and academic programming directors can use this guide to build cyber simulation exercises into every relevant course in their cybersecurity curricula.

Academic cybersecurity programs play an important role in preparing students for rewarding careers. Since the establishment of the world’s first computer science degree program in 1953, computer science has become an important field of academic research and one of the most important professions of our time. Today, just like in 1953, academic institutions recognise the enormous opportunity of this emerging field. Innovative colleges and universities have already launched their own cybersecurity degree programs.
