2003 should begin looking at what they’re up against in terms of migrating by next July.</div>

<a href="http://info.deterlab.net/" class="">DeterLab</a> provides exercises for students to learn cybersecurity techniques by getting their arms around attacks and defenses. Dedicated to supporting cybersecurity education, DeterLab has been used by 99 classes,
from 64 institutions and involving more than 3,500 users.</div>

<div style="margin: 0px; font-family: Helvetica;" class="">Deter stands for Defense Technology Experimental Research, and is a project started ten years ago at the University of Southern California. From
<a href="http://deter-project.org/" class="">the DETER Project</a> came DeterLab, which enables faculty members from all over the world to use pre-built exercises in their classes, letting students try out security activities in a safe environment. Students
can work through exercises without breaking or attacking something “for real.” Included are real-world activities such as buffer overflows, man-in-the-middle attacks, worm modeling and detection, denial-of-service and distributed denial-of-service attacks,
and forensics and monitoring.</div>
