Information Assurance Lab Tour

Classroom XXI is located within the Academy’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and is integrated into a larger network comprising the Department’s Information Warfare and Analysis Research Lab.  At each student seat in Classroom XXI, each student has access to three separate workstations dedicated to their use as well as having access to individual Virtual Information Assurance Networks (VIANs). 

These VIANs form the cornerstone of our innovative educational process of giving students a personal heterogeneous computing environment which they can configure and modify at will without fear of affecting other students or academy resources.  As part of the tour we will provide a hacking demonstration used in one of our core courses to educate cadets and increase awareness on the dangers to and vulnerabilities of internet computing.
