Authors

Abstract

Security of Critical National Infrastructures (CNI) is one of the major concerns to countries both in a European and in a worldwide level. Training on scenarios that involve such systems is important to the effective handling of incidents. Experiential learning is based on the importance of involvement and active engagement of attendees to develop personal experiences and increase the understanding of the investigated topic. This article describes a final year module for teaching traffic anomaly detection, an important part of of network security methods, to Computer Science and Informatics students. The course consists of twelve week labs and lectures run at De Montfort University. Students learn how to combine programming, data mining and security skills in order to build their own Intrusion Detection System using data from a small?scale SCADA testbed.
