In an age of dangerous ransomware attacks, Everett Community College is leading the way against hackers in the form of a mega-machine called “The Wall.”
Hot-headed hackers are in store for a harsh message: “The Wall” means you should be very, very worried.Not a day seems to go by when yet another cyber-attack doesn’t make the news.
As a result, EVCC technology instructor Dennis Skarr saw both an opportunity and sky-rocketing demand. “We need more professionals that understand what skills are required to adequately secure this environment,” Skarr told KIRO 7 News. He decided that Everett Community College would become a training ground on dealing with cyber-attacks.
His method? “The Wall,” a giant platform of networks and systems that allows people to simulate real-world cyber-crimes on critical infrastructure like water systems and energy grids.“We have devices in our water systems, electrical systems, advanced manufacturing, hospitals, it can go on and on and on,” he said.
