CyberCIEGE
The purpose of the CyberCIEGE project is to create an Information Assurance (IA) teaching/learning laboratory. In addition to rigorous scientific foundations, it involves the application of abstract principles to the real world. A hands-on virtual laboratory provides a dynamic and often surprising context where abstract principles can be applied and discovered. CyberCIEGE packages an information assurance laboratory as an interactive, entertaining, commercial-grade PC-based computer game where players construct and defend a networked computing system. Students will select information technology resources to meet explicit needs of virtual "users", and defend the resulting system from both vandals and professional attackers.

Cyber Security Simulation In its interactive environment, CyberCIEGE covers significant aspects of computer and network security and defense. Players of this video game purchase and configure workstations, servers, operating systems, applications, and network devices. They make trade offs as they struggle to maintain a balance between budget, productivity, and security. In its longer scenarios, users advance through a series of stages and must protect increasingly valuable corporate assets against escalating attacks. CyberCIEGE includes configurable firewalls, VPNs, link encryptors and access control mechanisms. It includes identity management components such as biometric scanners and authentication servers. Attack types include corrupt insiders, trap doors, Trojan horses, viruses, denial of service, and exploitation of weakly configured systems. Attacker motives to compromise assets differ by asset and scenario, thereby supporting scenarios ranging from e-mail attachment awareness to cyber warfare. |
