Using FireEye Endpoint Security for educational purposes

In this paper, it is presented how a commercial cybersecurity tool “FireEye Endpoint Security” can be used in the hybrid installation as a part of practical student exercises for cybersecurity training in the Network Forensics and Malware Forensics classes. The purpose of the student exercise in such scenario is to understand the capabilities of enterprise-class cybersecurity tools while keeping costs minimal for the university. The working environment is the installation of remote virtual security appliances and university laboratory equipment for independent students’ work. This is a scaled-down virtual environment available for independent student work where FireEye Endpoint Security is used in demo and proof-of-concept mode, which requires minimal local installation while providing a full feature set of the tool.
