Teachers should not have to build cybersecurity curriculum from scratch. With CyLab Security Academy students get to learn by doing. Teachers get resources that support instruction, exploration, and skill development. Together we can support accessible cybersecurity education.

A new AI Foundations I learning path is live on CyLab Security Academy! This release is built for exploration, not competition. Take your time, try the challenges, and see where other learners are spending time through anonymous activity signals.
