Hacking-Lab Remote: Rent a Professional IT Security Lab

April 13, 2010;

Why develop your own security lab, and invest time and money into its setup and operation? Hacking-Lab Remote by Compass enables universities, universities of applied sciences as well as companies to access a remote security lab via Internet and thus location-independent. In this technical infrastructure the users can analyse and test complex IT circumstances in a demonstrative and effective way. Furthermore Hacking-Lab includes a management portal, in which the lab exercises can be administrated in the form of theoretical input blocks, sample solutions and assessments of learning success.

One virtual lab - many options
Besides universities and universities of applied sciences offering IT security topics as teaching modules, companies also make use of the security lab. Here the technical infrastructure can be applied for the hands-on training of developers, Unix or Windows responsible persons. Even at security conferences the use of such a lab is imaginable. Hacking-Lab provides for instance an extensive Wargame which has already been tested with over 150 participants working simultaneously.

In addition, the virtual lab environment is also suitable as a special treat during various types of company events (team event, offsite meeting, etc.). An IT security puzzle, for example, attracts a great deal of attention. Thereby the theoretical expert knowledge can be linked with practical experience and thus enriches such events by hacking challenges.

Whether within software enterprises or for the training of professional penetration testers - hands-on lab exercises and live demonstrations introduce the approach of data thieves, etc. Thus the students and employees in the IT area get to know the strategies of cyber attackers in a way close to practice in order to be able to prepare for a counter attack in due time.
