The Public Infrastructure Security Cyber Education System (PISCES) is a platform which brings together industry, government, and education to deliver a job ready workforce, engage students with real-world experiences, and provide services to small local government entities which they would not otherwise be able to afford. PISCES places collectors on small governmental networks to collect netflow data. The data is stored on an ELK stack, and is monitored by students who perform anomaly analysis and threat hunting on the real data. Issues discovered are reviewed and reported. PISCES, which currently operates in four states, is working with CISA and PNNL to expand into other states and increase its presence. PISCES makes curriculum available to schools participating in the project, and in addition to the basic cybersecurity analyst course has developed a follow-on Security Operations Center (SOC) course.
