In recent years, computer and network security education has

become a priority among employers, the government, colleges

and universities. Another emerging priority among these

institutions is collaborative working environments. Rochester

Institute of Technology (RIT) is among the many universities

and colleges developing and offering Computer and Network

Security curriculum. However, we believe that our innovative

approach to this new curriculum is unique because of the

collaborative nature of the “ABC Defense Lab Project” recently

implemented across course boundaries.
