Jacobson said he was a bit frustrated, as CTO of Palisade, to find testing facilities that oversimplified computer security threats because they were unable to re-create the true breadth of the Internet and all the network activities that occurred during an attack.
ISEAGE changes that by offering a place to study critical infrastructure protection, perform end-user security field-testing, provide resources for security product developers, perform academic research, and conduct forensic and criminal investigations.

ISEAGE held a kickoff event recently, pitting five groups of computer students against a group of hackers. The students were smart, Jacobson says, but the hackers were a bit smarter -- or maybe just more devious.
"Just when the students got satisfied they had put off an attack, the hackers found another way in. It was a good experience for them. It was more complicated than they expected," Jacobson explained.
