CyberSecureHub: An Educational Platform for Cybersecurity Learning

Abstract

Cybersecurity education is fragmented across separate websites, technical blogs, certification pages, and practice platforms. Entry level professionals must move between resources to learn penetration testing, security operations, and career pathways, which slows learning and disconnects theory from practice. The CyberSecureHub web application was developed using Python and the Flet framework to centralize foundational cybersecurity content into a single browser accessible environment. The platform integrates Red Team and Blue Team material, certification guidance, three tiers of Capture the Flag (CTF) challenges, and an Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbot that provides support. The system was implemented and tested end-to-end. Results confirm that modular architecture can present offensive and defensive concepts together and that a contextual chatbot can support learning without replacing it.
