In this paper, we present a new pedagogical tool called AEGIS for educating college students about the importance of patch and vulnerability management. The tool is designed and developed in a bottom-up fashion by a group of eight students in accordance with the NIST patch and vulnerability management guidelines. Experience gained while devising various subcomponents of AEGIS could provide students with the much needed hands-on practical training in security and system administration curricula. Lastly, the possibility of using AEGIS as an educational tool to teach and assist day-to-day users with patch and vulnerability management is explored.
