Teach cybersecurity with real labs, without building a lab
Strong cyber programs need hands-on infrastructure that most faculties don't have the staff to build and maintain. Onyxium gives universities a structured, session-based curriculum where every student works in their own live environment, grading is automated, and instructors see the whole cohort at a glance.
Lab infrastructure eats faculty time
VMs, networks, and reset scripts consume the semester before teaching starts. Onyxium provisions and tears down isolated environments per student, automatically.
Grading hands-on work doesn't scale
A hundred students, each with a lab report? Onyxium validates lab work in the environment itself and grades challenges and quizzes automatically, with attempts recorded.
Academic integrity in practical work
Copied flags are the plagiarism of cyber courses. Per-attempt cryptographic flags make shared answers fail, and make sharing patterns visible to instructors.
How Onyxium fits
A syllabus, ready to run
40 structured sessions (160 hours) with objectives, prerequisites, theory, slides, and media, usable as a full program or a semester slice, or adapted by your faculty.
The instructor's command center
A student-by-session matrix, live environment view, at-risk signals, and instructor-only step-by-step solutions for every lab and challenge.
Cohorts and enrollment built in
Class groups, enrollment approval, magic-link onboarding, and role separation between program managers, instructors, and content staff.
Skills your graduates can show
Badges earned by demonstrated work, carrying NICE Framework codes: a portfolio signal for employers, not a participation certificate.
Questions we hear
Does it integrate with our LMS?
Not today: there is no LTI or SIS integration yet; Onyxium runs as its own platform with its own rosters and gradebook views. If LMS integration is a hard requirement, tell us; it directly shapes the roadmap.
Can students access it from their own laptops?
Yes. Everything runs in the browser, including the lab terminals and Windows desktops. No local VMs, no campus lab machines required.
Can faculty write their own labs and lessons?
Yes. Content is a managed, versioned structure with a full editing UI and a governed content API. Faculty can adapt the flagship curriculum or author their own sessions, with every change audit-logged.
