The cybersecurity Cloud Labs for Security Strategies in Linux Platforms and Applications provide fully immersive mock IT infrastructures with live virtual machines and real software, where students will learn and practice the foundational information security skills they will need to excel in their future careers. Unlike simulations, these hands-on virtual labs reproduce the complex challenges of the real world, without putting an institution’s assets at risk.
