Design and Analysis of a Model Reconfigurable Cyber-Exercise Laboratory (RCEL) for Information Assurance Education

Abstract

This thesis addresses the need to create a flexible laboratory environment for teaching network security. For educators to fully realize the benefit of such a facility, prototype exercise scenarios are also needed. The paper is based on a model laboratory created at the Naval Postgraduate School. The initial configuration of the NPS lab is described. The work then develops a list of learning objectives achievable in the kCEL. Six prototype cyber-exercise scenarios are presented to supplement the kCEL description. The activities within each potential scenario are described. The learning objectives met during each scenario are shown. This work demonstrates how a variety of potential kCEL exercises can supplement traditional information assurance education delivery techniques.
