This needs further definition.  Are you looking at 
anti-virus/hacker/anything response strictly?  If so, I'd almost look 
towards McAfee or Symantec for possible partnership with their already 
extensive networks.

This I'd almost look at being a tax paid endeavour.  The obvious job 
placement and economic growth entailed by this should be more than 
enough benifit to see people on their taxes.  However, I don't know what 
the current economic status of your country is to knowledgebly suggest 
that.  As far as getting something like that running, you'd need to 
assess how many qualified teaching staff members you have.  You may need 
to look towards other high name universities and institutions to see if 
there are people there willing to help direct qualified people to help 
with your teaching situation.

Well, that gets into privacy issues.  You'll need to figure out to what 
extent you're monitoring activities.  Too much monitoring, and people 
start screaming.

See #2.  In fact, most of the output from #2 should help to deal with this.

I hope this gives you some ideas.
