THE 20 MINUTE RULE

Training that fits your work day

Cybersecurity professionals are busy. They respond to incidents, manage tools, and handle constant pressure. They don’t consistently have time for multi-day trainings or full day simulations. 


That’s why we stand by the 20 minute rule: any user should be able to log on to our platform and make meaningful progress within 20 minutes. The SkillBit platform was designed for the modern security professional; our training fits real schedules.

Built for engagement


SkillBit Labs is built with gamification features that make training feel engaging, competitive, and rewarding. Gamified features include:

Global, team-based and private, “tag”-based scoreboards

Points and progression systems

Learning streaks

Certifications and achievement milestones


Create momentum and encourage consistent usage to turn training into a habit, not an obligation.


Browser-Based VMs

SkillBit Labs includes the infrastructure needed to support hands-on training safely and efficiently.

Learners can access browser-based virtual machines and container environments to solve challenges directly in the platform. This means no suspicious files to download and no fighting corporate security restrictions.

The team has a wide range of skill sets so [SkillBit Labs] gives them the opportunity to understand their strengths and weaknesses to utilize each other better in the event of a security incident or during threat hunting.

[SkillBit Labs] has a leaderboard as an overview of who did the most. That brings out the competitive spirit. Dollar for dollar, this may be one of the best investments I’ve made.

[SkillBit Labs is] a fun thing to do that helps you build your skills and think through problems in a different way.

David Bouchard
Manager of Enterprise Security Tools and Architecture at Oil & Gas Infrastructure Company

The problem I had was difficulty creating and incorporating more in-class activities to provide students with the hands-on learning. I leveraged readily available challenges [on SkillBit Labs] to introduce simple cybersecurity challenges to students to learn about different tooling and spark their curiosity about solving problems.

Assistant Teaching Professor, Khoury College of CS at Northeastern University

Some people play the guitar after hours, some people build legos, I like to do [SkillBit Labs].
