ITS-Lab

At the IT Security Lab at the Faculty of Communication and Environment in Kamp-Lintfort, you will find a cutting-edge environment specifically designed for training and research in information security. The lab offers an excellent platform for practical learning and innovative research in IT security, bolstered by advanced technologies.

Equipment

  • Isolated Environment: A secure area featuring 24 client workstations, providing a safe and controlled testing atmosphere. Here, students and researchers can work and experiment freely, e.g. analyse malware or utilize attack tools, without external security risks.
  • Robust Server Infrastructure: A diverse and resilient server landscape that supports a variety of scenarios and applications. This infrastructure is perfect for learning and testing network and security protocols, as well as related infrastructures.
  • Virtualized Environments: By utilizing virtualization technologies, different operating systems, application environments, and network configurations can be created and managed quickly and flexibly. This facilitates realistic simulations and experiments.
  • SIEM (Security Information and Event Management): Tools designed for monitoring and visualizing security conditions. These systems enable students to learn how to detect, analyse, and respond to security incidents effectively.
  • AI-Powered Data Preparation: Advanced techniques in artificial intelligence are employed to analyse and prepare data for incident reports and event logs, aiding in the swift and accurate identification of threats and anomalies.
  • Vulnerability Scanning: The use of vulnerability scanners enables network-based identification and assessment of weaknesses, prioritizing actions to remediate them.
  • IoT Components: A wide range of IoT devices that can be used to investigate the security of connected devices and systems. This includes sensors, actuators, and connected control units.
  • Experimental Hardware Components: A range of specialized hardware tools, such as Rubber Ducky, USB analysers, and protocol monitoring devices, designed for security and penetration testing. These tools allow for hands-on investigation of various attack scenarios and their countermeasures.
