️RP-RSA Security Operations Centre Lab: Master the art of cyber defence
Ready to discover what it’s like to be on the frontlines of cyber defence? The RP-RSA Security Operations Centre Lab (RP-RSA SOC Lab) is your gateway to learning how to combat security threats in an immersive, hands-on environment.
Launched in 2017, this lab is equipped with industry-leading tools like the Netwitness Platform, Palo Alto Networks firewalls, and Keysight Traffic Generator. You’ll step into simulated cyber-attack scenarios where you can explore all stages of security incident response—from analysis and containment to eradication and recovery.
Whether you’re enrolled in the PET or CET curriculum, the RP-RSA SOC Lab will equip you with the skills you need to respond to real-world security incidents. It’s an invaluable experience that’s part of the C377 – Security Incident Response Management module and the Cyber Security Incident Response short course, giving you the practical expertise you need to become an in-demand cybersecurity professional.
Dive into cyber threat intelligence: A hands-on approach to IoT security
Step into the RP-RSA-Ensign Cyber Threat Intelligence Lab and get ready to tackle some of the most pressing challenges in modern cybersecurity. Since its launch in 2019, this joint lab has been at the cutting edge of cybersecurity research, focusing on live threat monitoring for Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices.
In this immersive environment, you’ll get hands-on experience working with the RSA Netwitness monitoring platform and Palo Alto Networks virtual firewalls. You’ll monitor and analyse traffic from IoT devices, including IP cameras and DVRs, all connected through Ensign’s high-speed fibre broadband lines.
The lab plays a key role in your learning journey, with opportunities for you to participate in Final Year Projects (FYP), Special Projects, and internships. By engaging in real-world cybersecurity projects, you’ll gain practical skills that are essential for a career in IoT security and cyber threat intelligence.
Unleash your creativity with immersive technologies
Imagine stepping into a world of your own creation, where you’re free to explore ancient labyrinths or navigate a space station orbiting Earth. In the MarVel Lab, you’ll have the opportunity to turn these dreams into reality. Equipped with high-end workstations and head mount displays, this lab is designed to bring your virtual worlds to life.
In partnership with technology leaders like HTC Vive, Unity, Nvidia, and Beyond Geek, we’ve created a space that is not only cutting-edge but also fully equipped with the best tools for immersive technology development. This is where you’ll learn to build interactive environments that captivate and inspire.
The MarVel Lab is used extensively in the Immersive Technologies (C337) and Final Year Project (C300) modules, providing you with the perfect environment to hone your skills and develop innovative virtual experiences.
