Q & A
How often does the meeting with C-level executives occur?
-The meetings with C-level executives, including CEOs, CIOs, and CTOs, happen on a yearly basis.
What is the purpose of discussing the curriculum with C-level executives?
-The purpose is to present the competencies, skills, and learning outcomes being taught, to identify any gaps, and to receive recommendations on changes or new trends.
What is the significance of teaching red team cyber attack techniques in the classroom?
-Teaching red team cyber attack techniques helps students become better defenders by understanding potential vulnerabilities and attacks they might face.
Which operating system is used for the red team cyber attack class?
-The class uses Kali Linux, which some students might not have experience with.
What was the specific lab exercise mentioned in the transcript?
-The lab exercise involved setting up a phishing email with a payload to deliver and take over a system.
How does the class culminate for the students?
-The class ends with a two-week final project where students have to scan and breach live targets given by their IP numbers.
What is the main objective of the final project?
-The main objective is for students to assess the targets, identify vulnerabilities, and find a way to breach and gain access to the systems.
What is the expectation for the final project outcomes?
-Students are expected to successfully breach all five given IP addresses, demonstrating their understanding and ability to find vulnerabilities.
How do students generally perform in the final project?
-Most students perform exceptionally well by the end of the class, indicating the effectiveness of the hands-on learning approach.
Why is it important for students to understand both attacking and defending in cybersecurity?
-Understanding both sides is crucial as it provides a comprehensive view of cybersecurity threats and defenses, enabling students to better protect systems against real-world attacks.
What are some of the new trends that C-level executives might recommend for curriculum changes?
-While not specified in the transcript, C-level executives might recommend updates to reflect the latest technologies, methodologies, and threats in the cybersecurity landscape.

Transcripts
so we're meeting with them yearly we
literally say here's the curriculum
here's what we're teaching here's the
competencies and skills and learning
outcomes what are we missing we point
blank a andan these are cesos these are
cios these are CTO and they're they're
saying yeah this stuff looks great
here's the new trends here's what we'd
recommend you change and all that stuff
so we work hard to try to make sure we
stay on top of that game for sure for
sure now you mentioned some of the real
world Hands-On stuff what's some of the
stuff that's taking place the classroom
that's that is that Hands-On stuff yeah
I'll say so I'll say interestingly I'll
give you a couple examples so like last
night I was teaching a red team cyber so
attack class so we teach which not
people are like why are you teaching
people to attack um the reasons we teach
people to attack is because then you can
become a better Defender when you
understand what can be done to you you
say you certainly realize like how
serious you need to take this right so
one of the things we're we're going
through and I had a student last night
in class asking hey I'm trying to run
this and I'm having some troubles with
the lab so we're talking through it so
that particular lab was how to set up a
fishing email okay how to set up a
payload and so that you can deliver that
and then commander and take over a box
that's what it's about so we actually
walk them through that we do that on
Cali so that particular class we spend a
ton of time in Cali Linux so which again
depending on programs some people never
touch Cali and they never Touch Linux
but so that's one example that class is
going to culminate um it actually starts
so they have a a two- week final project
where we set up live targets all they do
is get an IP number so it's kind of like
a telephone number on your phone um they
get their IP number and I say here's
five IPS your team has two nights to
scan those IPS and breach those IPS and
you have to find I'm giving you nothing
other than the IP number so at the
culmination of the class they should be
able to assess those targets and figure
out how are they going to breach and get
in and and I tell them there is a way in
on all five you have to find it um so
and it's interesting so they of course
we have varying degrees of success most
of them do exceptionally well by the
time we get done with that particular
class
