California Community Colleges

This past year, the community colleges in the Greater Sacramento Region were able through grant funding provided by the California Community College Chancellor's Office, to provide students with 7/24 access from any Internet accessible location to a sandboxed virtual environment, providing up to eight (8) virtual computers that enabled them to practice advanced hacking and penetration testing techniques.

This advanced approach to instruction provides key "hands-on" training in isolation, meaning students do not have to face the potential of infecting their own computers or networks.
