UBT CERT deploys and manages 400+ virtual cybersecurity labs within UBT's infrastructure — isolated environments with intentionally vulnerable machines for hands-on offensive and defensive training.
UBT Cyberlab is a dedicated hands-on training environment where UBT CERT configures, deploys, and maintains intentionally vulnerable machines (IVMs) within UBT's secured network.
Students access labs through a controlled VPN connection, working on real-world scenarios with no risk to production infrastructure.
Cybersecurity is not learned from textbooks alone. Cyberlab provides real experience: real hacking, real malware analysis, real incident investigation — all in a legally controlled environment.
Students graduate from UBT with demonstrable skills and a proven mindset — not just a diploma.
Each lab is built with real-world scenarios, progressive difficulty levels, and structured learning paths.
Labs dedicated to web application security testing. From OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities to advanced authentication bypass and privilege escalation techniques.
Real-world network pentesting scenarios — from host and service discovery to protocol vulnerability exploitation, lateral movement, and privilege escalation.
Digital investigation labs where students analyze artifacts from compromised systems, recover deleted data, analyze memory dumps, and build incident timelines.
Full incident response scenarios — from first anomaly detection to isolation, eradication, and system recovery. Live exercises with SIEM and EDR.
Labs focused on security process automation and tool orchestration. Students build playbooks, automate incident response workflows, and integrate SIEM/EDR platforms with SOAR solutions.
System hardening labs — Windows Server, Linux, Active Directory, cloud infrastructure. Students apply CIS benchmarks, configure firewalls, and implement enterprise-grade security policies.
Cyberlab is organized around three interconnected training tracks, covering all aspects of modern cybersecurity.
Offensive skills — learn how attackers think and operate. Ideal for students targeting careers as Penetration Tester or Red Team Operator.
Defensive skills — detect, monitor, and respond to threats. The preferred track for SOC Analyst, DFIR Investigator, and Threat Hunter.
Collaboration between offensive and defensive teams — coordinated exercises where Red and Blue Teams work together to strengthen system resilience.
The process is simple, secure, and available 24/7 for UBT students.
Access to Cyberlab is exclusive to UBT students, through the institutional authentication system.
Labs are accessible exclusively within UBT's local network (LAN). Sign in with your institutional credentials through the internal platform.
Browse the lab catalog by domain, difficulty level (Easy / Medium / Hard / Expert), and preferred track.
Solve challenges, build real skills, and climb the competency ladder. Progress and achievements are automatically recorded.
