Inspired eLearning Unveils Cybersecurity Simulations Lab Ahead of ETIH Innovation Awards 2026
Innovation in cybersecurity education takes centre stage as Inspired eLearning unveils its new technology lab, while the Education Technology Innovation Hub (ETIH) gears up for its 2026 Innovation Awards.
Inspired eLearning, a leading provider of security awareness training, has opened a state-of-the-art technology lab. This new facility focuses on hands-on training to help employees identify and respond to common email phishing, vishing, and SMSishing attacks. The lab aims to foster a smarter, more engaged, and motivated workforce, thereby enhancing overall cybersecurity.
The lab's launch comes as the ETIH Innovation Awards 2026, celebrating excellence in global education technology, prepares to announce its winners on 14 January 2026. The winning entries will be featured in a print magazine at BETT 2026, the world's largest education technology event. Organizations from the UK, the Americas, and internationally are invited to submit their innovative learning solutions, with a focus on workforce development and AI integration.
John Trest, Chief Learning Officer at Inspired eLearning, stresses the importance of the human element in cybersecurity. He believes that equipping employees with the right skills and knowledge is crucial for building a robust defence against cyber threats.
The new technology lab by Inspired eLearning promises to enhance cybersecurity training, while the ETIH Innovation Awards 2026 looks set to recognise and promote cutting-edge education technology solutions. Both initiatives highlight the growing importance of innovation and human engagement in the digital age.
