Now piloting with secondary schools for 2026–27

Hands-on cybersecurity learning for schools

A browser-based practical lab platform for AP Cybersecurity courses. Students investigate realistic scenarios in safe, simulated environments — teachers see exactly how they reason.

Platform

Everything a practical cybersecurity lesson needs

CyberLab brings the investigative work of real security teams into the classroom, without any of the risk.

Scenario-based investigations

Every lab opens with a realistic school scenario and a clear mission, so students learn to reason rather than follow recipes.

Structured investigation workflow

Scenario, mission, evidence, investigation, findings, recommendation and reflection — a consistent method across every lab.

Guided AI tutor

A Socratic tutor nudges thinking without giving answers away. Teachers choose full tutor, hints only or assessment mode.

Interactive simulators

Network builders, log viewers, packet inspectors and cryptography tools run entirely in the browser.

Teacher analytics

See progress by unit and skill, spot students who need support and review submitted reasoning in one place.

Aligned to course units

Five units and 24 topics map practicals directly to the content you already teach.

How CyberLab works

From assignment to insight in three steps

  1. Step 1

    Assign

    Pick a lab from the library, choose a class, set a due date and decide how much AI help students receive.

  2. Step 2

    Investigate

    Students work through the scenario in a three-panel workspace, flagging evidence and writing their findings.

  3. Step 3

    Review

    Submissions arrive with flagged evidence, hints used and written reasoning, ready for feedback.

For teachers

  • Ready-to-run labs mapped to every unit
  • Assign to classes with due dates and attempt limits
  • Control AI assistance per assignment
  • Class and skill analytics at a glance

For students

  • Realistic scenarios drawn from school life
  • A tutor that asks questions instead of giving answers
  • Clear progress through units and skills
  • Save and return to investigations any time

Lab types

Eight kinds of practical, one consistent method

Each lab type has its own interactive tool, but every lab follows the same investigation workflow.

  • Risk Investigation
  • SOC / Log Analysis
  • Cryptography
  • Packet Investigation
  • Network Security
  • Physical Security
  • Authentication
  • Incident Investigation

School security & privacy

Built to pass your IT and safeguarding review

Security education should model security practice. CyberLab is designed with the controls schools expect.

Tenant isolation
Each school is a separate organization, and pages are scoped to the signed-in user’s school.
Role-based access
Platform admins, school admins, teachers and students are each limited to pages their role allows, checked on the server.
Safe simulations
Every lab runs against simulated evidence. Lab tools never make network requests or run commands.
Minimal student data
We collect only what learning requires, and users can request export or deletion.
