Computing Security Lab | Facilities | RIT Dubai

To meet the growing demand for security applications, the computing security lab provides students with PCs loaded with software and advanced capabilities and with access to the DTLAB in order to support a wide range of applications in computing security. Experiments related to computer system security, penetration testing and frameworks, computer system forensics, and others. Using this lab, students design experiments in vulnerable environments, conduct various attacks, acquire information related to these attacks, and then develop techniques to mitigate them.

The students can also run digital forensics tools such as Magnet Axiom and FTK to conduct investigations, reveal insights from the data collected, and practice incident response handling. Access to the DTLAB provides students with private cloud support that allow them to spin various virtual machines, connect them via a network, and study various security issues.
