The Citadel’s Department of Cyber and Computer Sciences unveils new labs for hands-on learning opportunities
The Citadel’s Department of Cyber and Computer Sciences is further advancing its efforts to provide high-quality learning spaces, with two new state-of-the-art labs and security resources on campus.
Along with The Citadel DoD Cyber Institute (CDCI), the Department of Cyber and Computer Sciences hosted a grand opening event on Tuesday, Oct. 29, for the two new labs: the CHARIoTS lab, which stands for Critical infrastructure Hands-On Access control Research and IoT Security, and The Citadel Security Operations Center, or C-SOC.
In the CHARIotS lab, students and faculty will use the space for conducting education and research for critical infrastructure protection against cyberattacks. In the C-SOC, cadets and students will be assisting The Citadel’s ITS department in real time.
The CHARIotS lab contains a Tiny Cyber Town, called an INCITE, or Industrial Control Innovative Training Environment Kit, and an LITE, or Light INCITE Training Environment Kit. Cadets in the cyber program demonstrated the equipment to event attendees.
Cadet Jack Cooper, a double major in computer science and cyber operations, was part of the demonstration group. He says opportunities like this are invaluable to his learning experience at The Citadel.
