CYBER.ORG Launches New CYBERPortal to Streamline K-12 Cybersecurity Education into One Secure Platform

New centralized platform gives educators and users one destination to access cybersecurity curriculum, the enhanced CYBER.ORG Range and additional learning tools.

BOSSIER CITY, La.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, CYBER.ORG – the academic initiative of the Cyber Innovation Center – announced the launch of the CYBERPortal, a new content management platform designed to provide educators and all users with a single, secure destination to access cybersecurity curriculum, hands-on learning experiences and training resources. The new platform replaces Canvas and serves as a centralized hub for the enhanced CYBER.ORG Range, along with other CYBER.ORG tools and applications.

The CYBERPortal simplifies the delivery of cybersecurity education by bringing course content, interactive labs and learner assessments into one user-friendly platform. From one platform, educators can now access instructional materials and deliver cybersecurity training, helping prepare learners for high in-demand cybersecurity and AI careers while eliminating the need to manage multiple applications.

“At CYBER.ORG, we’re committed to evolving alongside the educators, caregivers and users we serve, ensuring they have the resources needed to make high-quality cybersecurity and AI learning as accessible as possible,” said Charlene Cooper, Director of CYBER.ORG. “The CYBERPortal brings together the essential tools that educators rely on in one connected platform, making it easier to access resources, manage instruction, and expand opportunities for immersive, applied learning. Paired with the enhanced CYBER.ORG Range, it creates an integrated learning environment that prepares students for the workforce of tomorrow."

One of the cornerstone experiences available through the CYBERPortal is the newly enhanced CYBER.ORG Range, which features a more intuitive interface and consolidated user experience. Built around the trusted CYBER.ORG curriculum, the cloud-based Range enables educators to guide students through realistic, objective-based cybersecurity labs in a secure environment without requiring expensive hardware, dedicated infrastructure or extensive IT support.

Key features of the CYBERPortal include:

• A single, secure platform to access curriculum, instructional resources, the CYBER.ORG Range and other CYBER.ORG applications
• A centralized dashboard to deliver training
• Flexible curriculum and lab options that can be customized to meet the needs of K-12 schools, higher education institutions, workforce development organizations and government agencies
• A scalable platform that reduces the cost and complexity of managing multiple educational tools

The enhanced CYBER.ORG Range further expands real-world learning opportunities with:

• An educator-friendly interface designed to simplify classroom instruction and lab management
• Real-world offensive and defensive cybersecurity labs aligned with the CYBER.ORG curriculum
• A cloud-based, browser-accessible platform that can be used on virtually any device without additional software or hardware
• Safe, sandboxed environments where learners can develop practical cybersecurity skills while preparing for industry-recognized certifications
• Free access for K-12 educators across the United States with flexible pricing for broader school districts, higher education, workforce development and other non-profit organizations

Together, the CYBERPortal and enhanced CYBER.ORG Range provide users with an integrated solution for delivering engaging, hands-on cybersecurity and AI education while helping students build the practical skills needed to succeed in an increasingly digital world.
