The paper considers the regulatory and legal basis of the arrangement of professional training in Ukraine and its organization forms. The essential meaning of the definition "virtual educational laboratory" is particularized, which is understood as a virtual learning environment that makes it possible to simulate the behavior of real world objects in an informational and educational environment and to master new knowledge and skills. The structural diagram of the model of a virtual educational laboratory for modeling processes in cyber security is presented, which confirms the expediency and possibility of its wide use as the main means of forming the system of knowledge, abilities and skills in the study of general and professional digital competencies, IT technologies and knowledge in the field of cyber security. A functional layout of a model of a virtual educational laboratory for modeling processes in cyber security is proposed, the implementation of which will provide ample opportunities for creating various educational situations in the field of cyber security. The advantages of using a virtual educational laboratory for modeling the processes in cyber security for the educational needs of state and private cyber security have been determined (in the general educational aspect: formation of professional competences; improvement of quality of independent educational and cognitive activities; development of motivational activities; accessibility and automation of operations; in the organizational and technical aspect: savings on the purchase of hardware; the possibility of using various operating systems and potentially dangerous software; the possibility of creating the necessary hardware configurations), as well as the main disadvantages of a virtual educational laboratory and cloud technologies in general (information security, constant connection to the Internet, as well as the need for a reliable connection to it; the possibility of data loss in the "cloud").
