National Cyber League (NCL) SUCCESS
"Last year, I cried after the pre-season competition because I thought I wasn't smart enough to be in this major after preseason. I literally couldn't even figure out all of the open source intel material. This year, I finished with 1800 points in pre-season. If that doesn't show an insane amount of growth, then I don't know what does." Kaitlyn

Here's what faculty have to say...

"I've adopted the Infosec Learning labs for my Ethical Hacking course this semester. I'm three weeks into the course and I'm already getting rave reviews from my students. They love that they can access the labs anytime, anywhere -  from a web browser, and I love that the labs only require HTML5. The step-by-step labs are easy to follow and the LMS-integration makes access as simple as clicking on a link. This means I can focus on delivering content and teaching, rather than troubleshooting lab and access issues."
Mike Qaissaunee,  Brookdale Community College
 
"Infosec Virtual Labs are an effective solution for moving my cybersecurity live
demos from traditional to online classes."
Bernardo Palazzi,  Brown University
 

Here's what students have to say...
 
"The lab is my favorite part of this class. The actual hands on experience was great."

"I actually really enjoyed the hands-on approach provided by the lab. I really like the
VM aspect and how we could switch between one OS and the other."

"I enjoyed the lab environment. The hands-on aspect was really great...especially
learning about the hacking process."
