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.
When new people come into the team, we get them engaged with [SkillBit Labs].

The students are responding positively, though some are struggling with the challenges; most are able to leverage the readily available resources within Skillbit or do a bit of independent research to address them. Granted, the challenges we picked are mostly easy challenges, as my goal is to encourage students to work on problems and not cause frustrations.

I wanted to do something where [students] have free reign to explore. That’s where [SkillBit Labs] came in.
