Cybersecurity Lab for Colleges & Universities
Don't just teach cybersecurity. Let students experience it.
A dedicated, isolated cyber lab on your campus where students attack, detect, defend and investigate, using the same tools real security teams use, from the computers you already have.

The problem
Students learn cybersecurity in theory. Industry hires for practice.
No safe place to practise
Normal lab computers can't run hacking tools, malware or vulnerable systems without risking the campus network.
Skills gap at placement
Recruiters and certifications expect hands-on SOC, penetration testing and incident response experience.
Complex to build in-house
A real cyber range needs virtualisation, isolation, identity, monitoring and constant resets, which is hard for a busy IT team.
The experience
One lab. The complete security experience.
Learn
Build concepts through guided, syllabus-mapped exercises.
Attack
Reconnaissance, web exploitation, penetration testing, Active Directory attacks.
Detect
See their own attacks appear as SIEM alerts, logs and network traffic.
Defend
Investigate incidents, analyse evidence and malware, harden systems.
Prove
CTF challenges and live leaderboards show student performance.
Trained on the tools real security teams use
- Kali Linux
- Metasploit
- Burp Suite
- OWASP Juice Shop
- DVWA
- Active Directory
- Wazuh
- Security Onion
- Suricata
- OPNsense
- Autopsy
- Ghidra
- CTFd
Lab modules
9 lab modules. One platform.
Red Team / Ethical Hacking
Kali Linux, Metasploit, Burp Suite, Active Directory attack ranges and vulnerable web apps.
Blue Team / SOC
Run a real SOC with Wazuh SIEM, Security Onion, incident response and threat intelligence.
Purple Team
MITRE ATT&CK attack simulation with live detection tracking.
Digital Forensics
Disk, memory and network forensics with Autopsy, Volatility and SIFT.
Malware Analysis
An isolated sandbox for safe static and dynamic analysis.
Network Security
Virtual routers, firewalls, VPNs and IDS/IPS labs.
Cloud Security
Kubernetes and cloud-service security labs.
CTF Platform
Internal and inter-college competitions with live leaderboards.
AI/ML & Research
AI for threat detection and log analysis, plus final-year project environments.
How it works
Everything a class needs. Nothing the campus network doesn't.
Browser-based access
No installation or re-imaging. Students open their lab machines in a browser, in the lab, the hostel or at home.
Single sign-on
One secure login with MFA for every student, faculty member and administrator.
Segmented & isolated
Attack, malware and CTF traffic stays inside isolated virtual networks, never on the campus network.
Encrypted everywhere
HTTPS with auto-renewing certificates and a single public entry point.
Blue-team monitoring
IDS sensors and SIEM watch every lab network, so misuse is visible immediately.
Nightly reset
Every lab returns to a clean state automatically, ready for the next class.
Architecture
One secure door in. Strong identity. Isolated labs. Eyes on everything.

Start small, grow big
Start with one powerful server. Grow into a Center of Excellence.
- One dedicated rack server runs every lab module.
- 30 students work at the same time, one module per class session.
- It uses your existing rack, UPS, network and firewall.
- Add memory, storage, a GPU or more servers as your programme grows.
