The cyber game is unfair, the defenders have to do everything right everydayand hackers only have to get lucky once.To combat this persistent threat, which is a 24/7 operation, we need all hands on deck.

Whendeveloping a reduced-scale testing facility such as this IST, it is important to choose for whichcharacteristics similitude is desired.

Experiencing that success reinforces intrinsic motivation. The main goal of the camp is supported by implementation goals: (1) to expose students tothe invention process through the application of human-centered design to problems in thestudents’ community; (2) to introduce engineering and prototype fabrication skills necessary totransform a design concept to a working prototype; (3) to use the invention experience asinspiration to pursue a STEM career; (4) to give students exposure to being on a college campus;(5) to develop a resilient identity

The CUTE labs cover four major areas: the platform exploration labs, the big data labs, the cloud economics labs, and the security and privacy labs. They are designed to use publicly available free cloud resources and open source software with no spe- cial requirement on computing infrastructures, so that they can be easily adopted and adapted at low cost.
