The systemcould be used in any cybersecurity related undergraduate and graduate courses. It would helpstudents understand the latest cybersecurity technologies. Furthermore, it would provide on-campus and distance education students with opportunities to learn and practice cyberattack andcyber defense techniques used in the real world.In order to maximize the positive impact of the system on cybersecurity education, a two-dayworkshop was held at East Carolina University (ECU) in the summer of 2019.
