School of Computing Deploys Advanced Threat Simulation Sandbox for Dual Cybersecurity Master's
York, UK — Students in Crownshire University's MSc Cybersecurity & Information Assurance (Dual Award) now have access to an expanded enterprise security operations center (SOC) simulation sandbox.
The browser-accessible laboratory allows students to conduct offensive penetration testing, analyze ransomware payloads, and execute real-time incident response workflows within isolated cloud environments. The infrastructure mirrors real-world critical national infrastructure security standards.
"Hands-on technical proficiency is non-negotiable in cybersecurity," said the Lead Professor in Cyber Defense. "Our students do not just read theory; they contain active simulations and document formal post-incident reports to industry standards."
Graduates of the dual program receive two Master of Science diplomas, providing verified credentials for senior security architect and CISO career tracks.
