Transform Your Organisation's Cyber Security Training with Hacktivity

We're excited to announce Hacktivity's launch of organisation subscriptions. Whether you're an educational institution, business, or training provider, you can now access a complete cyber security training platform that combines hands-on labs, automated assessment, and comprehensive course content - all without the hassle of managing your own infrastructure.

What sets Hacktivity apart? We've solved key challenges in cyber security education:

• Complete curriculum of hands-on labs mapped to the Cyber Security Body of Knowledge (CyBOK), assisting course design and accreditation
• Frequent capture the flag (CTF) challenges with automated marking saves staff time and provides instant feedback
• Engaging, interactive content improves student experience
• Randomisation helps prevent plagiarism and solution sharing
• Fully hosted infrastructure removes technical overhead

Randomisation Makes Hacktivity Different

Fed up with static lab environments where students just share answers? That's not Hacktivity.

Traditional CTF challenges and security labs are expensive and time-consuming to create, and their reuse can lead to widespread solution sharing, reducing their effectiveness. Creating new challenges typically involves manually cloning VMs and configuring challenges - a resource-intensive process that limits the variety and freshness of content. Other cyber security training platforms provide static challenges, which means once a solution is posted online, students can simply follow the exact same steps, or submit the same flags and solutions, without developing real understanding.

Hacktivity generates unique, randomised challenges for each user. Every time someone starts a lab, they get their own dedicated virtual machines with randomised configurations - different usernames, passwords, IP addresses, and even varying challenge details.

Because each student's environment is unique to them, with different system details and randomly generated flags, they need to actually complete the work themselves. No more worry about students sharing flags - each submission is verified against that student's unique flags.

Plus, our automated marking system means instant feedback for students and no manual grading of practical lab tasks for staff. Students submit their discovered flags through the platform and immediately know if they're on the right track. Staff can focus on supporting learning rather than marking.

But randomisation is just the start. Our platform comes loaded with everything you need to deliver effective cyber security training.

Comprehensive Curriculum Ready to Go

Launch with immediate access to a curriculum of cyber security content:

• Ethical Hacking and Penetration Testing
• Web and Network Security
• Systems Security
• Incident Response and Investigation
• Reverse Engineering and Malware Analysis
• Software Security and Exploit Development

Each course includes detailed lab instructions, and multiple hands-on challenges that are automatically marked. Most courses include video explanations/lectures.

All content is mapped to CyBOK (Cyber Security Body of Knowledge), making it perfect for academic programs and professional development alike.

Premium Learning Experience Without the Infrastructure Headache

Designing and managing your own cyber security lab infrastructure is a massive challenge. The costs of hardware, cloud hosting, ongoing maintenance, and technical support add up quickly. Many institutions struggle with VPN access, managing VMs, and keeping software up to date. Other platforms offer compromised experiences - laggy browser-based desktops, VPN-only access, or terminal-only interfaces that limit learning.

Hacktivity eliminates these headaches. Forget about managing your own lab infrastructure or dealing with VPN hassles. Hacktivity provides:

• A full desktop experience via SPICE technology
• Seamless copy-paste support
• Pre-configured tools and environments
• Automated VM provisioning
• Load-balanced cloud infrastructure

Your learners get a seamless, professional-grade experience, while you avoid the technical overhead. Instead of spending months setting up lab infrastructure and creating content from scratch, you can be up and running with quality training in minutes.

You're in Control

As an organisation admin, you get powerful tools to:

• Customise courses
• Invite your users/students to specific courses they are enrolled on, or open Hacktivity courses up to all of your users
• Set release dates, deadlines, and marking weights for each lab
• Track detailed student progress
• Download scores as a CSV
• Access learner VMs directly for support

Battle-Tested in Education

Hacktivity and our SecGen framework have been in active development for a decade, and have benefited from 9+ grants (funded by HEA, Innovate UK, CyBOK, and LBU). Hacktivity has been refined through real-world use at Leeds Beckett University, where it supports 300+ students weekly across NCSC provisionally-accredited cyber security degrees. The platform has been recognised by the BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT) as an example of best practice in the sector. Hacktivity & SecGen are used by universities, colleges, and clubs internationally.

Flexible Plan for Organisations

Our Business & Education subscription gives you access to everything you need - from infrastructure to content to assessment tools. We handle the technical complexity while you focus on teaching and supporting your learners.

Whether you're running one course or an entire degree program, you can grant your students access to all our structured learning content and features. This means you can use Hacktivity across multiple modules or training programs at no extra cost – simply priced on the number of user seats you need.

Organisations with 30+ seats receive a 25% volume discount. All subscriptions include transferable seats, business-friendly invoicing, custom course creation capabilities, and personalised support to ensure your success.
