Achieving a safer cybersecurity environment on a global scale goes beyond timely detection and incident response. We believe that to ensure continuous progress in this realm, it is essential to invest in the next generations of professionals. That is why at ANY.RUN, we are committed to providing educational institutions and individual students with the resources they need to teach and learn malware analysis, a critical skill for combating cyber threats of tomorrow.
Free semester of ANY.RUN’s top plan for universities
Editor’s Note: The ANY.RUN for Education program has reached its enrollment limit for this semester. We appreciate your interest and encourage you to stay tuned for future announcements.
As part of our efforts to make malware analysis more accessible, we have developed a program intended for educational purposes. Specifically, we are giving universities the opportunity to get up to 15 free Education licenses for one semester.
For one semester universities can get up to
15 free Education licenses
This means that for several months, the university’s faculty and students will have full access to all features of our online malware sandbox, including the ability to work in teams, completely free of charge.
By participating in the program, universities will be asked to provide feedback on the sandbox and their experience with it, which will include:
- Completing questionnaires
- Talking to our representatives over video calls
- Submitting bug reports
This information will help us make the service more user-friendly and relevant to the needs of universities and all users in general.
To enter our program, contact us at [email protected] with the subject line “ANY.RUN for education.” Please note that the offer is limited.

How ANY.RUN benefits universities and students
The ANY.RUN interactive sandbox is not only a service used by over 300,000 cybersecurity professionals, but also an invaluable tool for teaching and learning.

- See how a malware sample executes and interacts with a system.
- Conduct real-time investigations of malware samples.
- Create and perform malware analysis labs to ensure hands-on experience.
- Assign and complete homework on malware analysis.
- Collaborate using the teamwork capabilities of the service.
- Study detailed reports to interpret malware analysis data.
- Collect the latest samples and explore them in a safe environment.
- Gather indicators of compromise (IOCs) for numerous malware types and families.
ANY.RUN has been employed by multiple institutions as part of their educational courses and programs. For instance, you can learn about how our sandbox has been implemented by Dakota State University in their curriculum. You can also check out how Zero2Automated utilizes ANY.RUN in their malware analysis training.
