During a recent visit to the schoolhouse, Fifth Domain observed a classroom with wall-to-wall desks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, each student is provided their own segmented working environment to practice on, which in the cybersecurity world is referred to as a sandbox. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This sandbox allows students to practice scripts and code without worrying about affecting an operational network or the workspace of other students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe \u2026 create that maneuver space for our folks to actually operate their weapon systems or to learn concepts; we have to provide that for them.

added. \u201cThey\u2019ll have that sandbox environment that they can learn and operate and maneuver in, as well as the network connectivity that they need in order to do, say, intel analysis or to
