Network Assessment and Defense (IT-643), Investigation and Digital
Forensics (ISE-640), and the Cyber Security Capstone (ISE-690). All labs
are conducted in a virtualized environment that features real networks,
real machines, real tools, and real-world scenarios. Each lab scenario
lasts from 30-60 minutes. Students can access these labs anywhere,
anytime with a viable Internet connection and a laptop.
“We are thrilled to partner with Comtech to integrate their
CYBRScore™ lab solution within our cyber security program,” said Scott
Overmyer, assistant executive director, academic STEM programs, Southern
New Hampshire University. “We are measuring real-time competency and
gaining never-before-seen insights to understand exactly where students

Corp. “Our Skills Labs provide invaluable insight into specific
strengths and weaknesses of a particular student, making student
evaluation effective and efficient.”
“Leveraging CYBRScore™ Labs, universities are able to enhance both their
cyber security degree and certificate programs and, at the same time,
build practical hands-on competency that increase a student’s job market
readiness,” Mr. Kornberg added.
