Security Training Lab: Educational Program
for Universities

At ANY.RUN, we’ve spent over 8 years tackling cybersecurity industry challenges. We built an interactive sandbox and Threat Intelligence Lookup to streamline malware analysis and investigations for hundreds of thousands of professionals worldwide.

Now, we’re launching Security Training Lab to address another critical need: equipping future cybersecurity professionals with the skills they need to succeed. 

What is Security Training Lab 

Cyber threats evolve at a rapid pace, making it tough for universities to keep their cybersecurity programs current. Security Training Lab empowers universities to tackle this problem by bridging the gap between theory and practice in cybersecurity education.  

The program provides instructors with the tools and resources they need to train students on actual threats, ensuring they graduate with the skills and knowledge to be effective cybersecurity professionals. 

Recognizing the value of hands-on experience, our program offers real-world threat simulations and labs using ANY.RUN’s interactive malware sandbox. This gives both teachers and students a safe place to analyze and study actual cyber threats. 

By working with real samples of malware and phishing attacks, students will get valuable practical experience in identifying and understanding different types of attacks. The hands-on training will help them develop the skills to detect, investigate, and respond to real-world cyber threats, making them more confident in their abilities.
