American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 A Call to Create an Open-Source Project Initiative for Cybersecurity Virtual Labs Radana Dvorak Ph.D. & John L. Whiteman MSCSAbstractCybersecurity classes present challenging problems to engineering and computer sciencedepartments. Having to negotiate with overstretched IT departments to set up specialized labs tosupport the curriculum and purchasing third-party cyber labs are not an option for manydepartments due to reduced budgets. Setting up environments is often left to the instructor afterfinding difficulties with the
