Academic Alliance FAQ

Is there a cost involved for institutions?

Many of our basic workshops, seminars, and awareness sessions are sponsored in collaboration with partner organizations and NGOs to make cybersecurity education accessible.

What computer lab setup is required?

None. Because our cyber range platform is completely browser-based, students only need standard laptops with internet connections. No local VM setups are required.

Who is eligible to apply?

Any registered college, university, or educational institute hosting computer science, engineering, or information technology courses.

Do you offer certificates for students?

Yes. Students who successfully complete the workshop labs or participate in our CTFs receive digital certificates of participation.
