AB  -                Building Vulnerability Testing Labs in an Educational                                          EnvironmentA common news thread is the shortage of competent Information Security (InfoSec)professionals, both in the public and private sectors. To address this shortage, many training andrecruitment camps, such as National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (NCCDC),CyberQuests, and CyberDefense, have been created. However, to participate fully in thesecamps, and to become proficient in their chosen field, students and emerging professionals needspecific sets of technical skills that are not commonly taught at a university level. They needmore than just theory to hone those skills. This paper discusses creating a lab in which studentscan learn skills that would otherwise be unethical and often illegal to test on live servers. Thisfacilitates effective training of professionals needed for InfoSec careers. A list of commonroadblocks found in educational institutions, along with solutions, will be discussed.This document proposes a fully-implementable program that addresses the growing need forcyber-security professionals. Research begins with identification of common roadblocks toimplementing a cyber-security program. Next, this document discusses solutions to theseobstacles. Finally, a detailed description of the program implemented at X University is given,along with the results that have come from successful implementation. This work is a naturalprogression from previous attempts at solving this problem
