Program Overview

This immersive and hands-on program provides a unique opportunity for graduate students to study and mitigate real-world cybersecurity vulnerabilities affecting critical infrastructure systems.

As a participant, you will:

• Identify and replicate known vulnerabilities in a controlled lab environment, leveraging our OPSWAT Critical Infrastructure Lab's resources.
• Develop and test exploits related to these vulnerabilities, gaining insight into hacker tactics and methods.
• Produce comprehensive written reports and visual content (video and images) detailing the vulnerabilities, the reasons behind their occurrence, and their potential impact on critical infrastructure.
• Scan identified malware and vulnerabilities using OPSWAT's suite of tools, such as the MultiScanner, Deep CDR, Proactive DP, Sandbox, Neuralyzer, and Vulnerability Scanners, and document your findings.
• Create a defense strategy that outlines protective measures against identified vulnerabilities and similar future threats, backed by your hands-on experience and testing results.

Program Structure

The program consists of 6 modules as below:

Module 1: Vulnerability Identification and Replication

• Start with a known vulnerability (to be provided during the program).
