ABSTRACT
Due to increasing cyber crimes, cyber security analyst and problem solvers are in huge demand. These designations entail certain skills which an individual needs to acquire such as analyzing logs, system debugging etc. Through teacher-student interviews it has been evident that students fail to analyze cyber-attacks. There is a need to train students on vulnerability analysis with respect to cyber attacks. Causal reasoning being one of the crucial skill for solving cyber problems, educating college students towards becoming effective Cyber Security analysts has become a daunting task due the immense breadth of knowledge students need to acquire. This research work aims to propose a two step solution that can help improve students problem analysis skill through causal reasoning and log analysis.
