Launched a real cybersecurity lab for 1,200 B.Tech students — zero campus hardware.
Engineering college (India, B.Tech CSE, 1,200 learners)
Challenge
The college had a cybersecurity elective on paper but no working lab — the previous attempt at a VMware-based cyber range had failed within two semesters because of imaging, licensing, and maintenance overhead. Students were learning from slides, not hands-on attacks.
Solution
DeepTech replaced the on-prem range with browser-based, multi-machine Kali labs. Faculty assigned per-student isolated networks, graded exploitation milestones, and viewed live attack telemetry. An intra-college CTF was hosted on the same platform at the end of the semester with 280 participants and zero infra work for the IT team.
Outcomes
- ✓1,200 B.Tech CSE / IT students gained genuine hands-on cybersecurity practice
- ✓Faculty workload reduced — auto-graded milestones replaced manual viva for 60% of the module
- ✓Internal CTF run in one week of setup with 280 participants and live scoreboards
- ✓Placement coordinators reported a measurable lift in offensive-security interview performance
- ✓Faculty Development Programme (FDP) onboarded 14 faculty across CSE and IT departments
