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.
