Cybersecurity cost effectiveness, and impact on productivity and quality demand an assessment of the education and training needs of the Information Technology (IT) users and IT professionals. Continuing education is very important for the IT professional to keep up with emerging technologies and business demands for new technology skills. Significant changes to the security education and training are expected because IT is growing rapidly and new applications and security technologies are emerging. University programs for information security training will also expand in terms of number of courses, specialization levels, and degrees. The security professional entering the work force is expected to have more skills, and be more proficient in problem solving. To meet these requirements, we propose a framework for a security laboratory that can be built and operated in a university at reduced costs, making it feasible for more institutions to add security topics to their curricula. This security laboratory model supports the execution of laboratory projects to satisfy teaching security skills ranging from basic to advanced levels. A combination of traditional lectures with laboratory projects is effective teaching students how to analyze and solve security problems.The suggested framework for security laboratory setup and laboratory projects could make it feasible for many educational institutions to introduce the Information Security education quickly, and at reduced costs.
