CyBOK Integration with Courses
CyBOK is integrated into the Hacktivity experience. Here we are exploring the System Security course content
Hacktivity Cyber Security Labs is a cornerstone of the NCSC accredited cyber security degrees at LBU
Used by ~300 students every week
All LBU cyber security modules are hosted on Hacktivity, and incorporate hands-on labs and marks from CTF challenges
"Hacktivity is a powerhouse; I often forget how seamless the VM access is."
"I enjoyed the Hacktivity weekly challenges a lot."
"This course was informative and rewarding due to the CTF challenges. [...] I like how the module, through the use of flags, urges you to apply the theory from the lectures and the labs into practical use."
"Hacktivity is instrumental in how we teach practical cyber security skills across our degrees. The hands on approach engages students, and the automated marking and anti-cheating features save countless hours of staff time."
"The use of the Hacktivity platform significantly enhanced the learning experience by providing a hands-on, interactive environment that made complex theories more accessible and engaging."
"Very fun and interactive with satisfying challenges."
