Hacker Research Laboratory
This cloud-based, networked and isolated lab houses various networking devices such as servers, firewalls, intrusion prevention/detection systems, and routers. Students use the lab to gain a good understanding of many security concepts, including:
- data centre security
- information technology (IT) forensics
- malware analysis
- penetration testing
- secure communication
In this facility, students gain hands-on training in IT security from two perspectives: an IT security officer and a criminally motivated hacker.
