Build a Cybersecurity and IT Program that Prepares Your Students for the Real-World

Colleges and companies are rapidly launching and scaling cybersecurity and information technology course offerings to meet the growing demand for qualified professionals. And yet, not every program is adequately preparing students to protect the valuable assets of organizations and individuals. Students need real-world experience and quality, current content to stay engaged in the classroom, drive learning outcomes, and hit the ground running after graduation.   

Your department or school doesn’t have to start from scratch. We have the tools and resources to build the right curriculum for your students, encourage hands-on learning, and empower instructors to deliver the best classroom experience. If you want additional advice on how to create a curriculum or secure program approvals or funding, check out our eBook on Expanding Your Cybersecurity Education Program.

Cloud Labs don’t simulate operating systems; they provide “live” Windows and Linux environments. The labs contain step-by-step directions found embedded directly inside the live environment. Quite a brilliant concept!
