Teaching Network Security course is a challenging task. One of the challenges is that networks have become more complicated and prone to attacks. In response to the challenge, the set of networking and security protocols and mechanisms continue to evolve, increasing the number of security technologies a network engineer needs to master in order to secure a network. This paper describes our experience of applying a network security development model to developing a network security lab. Developing network security is an iterative process, encompassing the analysis of vulnerabilities and threats, construction of policies, design of network architecture, integration plan of control measures, implementation of the design, and the operation and maintenance of a secure network. While Network Security has become an increasingly complicated topic to teach, we have learned from experiences the significance of a well-defined network security development process for teaching the development of secure networks.
