Where it sits in the data
Codelivly — Interactive Cybersecurity Training's $1.9K in the last 30 days is higher than 82% of the 5,602 projects with payment-verified revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $150. Within the “Security” category (96 projects) it is higher than 76% (category median $254). Snapshot: 2026-09-02 to 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.
Currency
All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.
Could you build something like this?
In my view, demand would come from individuals who want structured, practical cybersecurity learning and from people building skills in web, cloud, network, or offensive security. The buyer would need a clear reason to practice hands-on rather than only read material, with learning paths and progress records helping organize that work.
Distribution would need to come from search, educational content, newsletters, social channels, and communities. The hard parts are maintaining accurate technical environments, supporting learners when exercises break, handling security and privacy responsibilities, and competing for attention in a crowded education market.
Verdict: Needs real work.
One thing to take from it
The clearest product lesson is to combine structured learning with practice environments, progress signals, and a shareable record of completed work. Codelivly’s site presents free access to rooms, learning paths, career paths, labs, and CTF challenges, with Pro adding career and certificate tools.
