# SkillBit

> SkillBit is an AI-powered cybersecurity skills assessment and development platform that helps corporate security teams build and measure real, hands-on capability through bite-sized, scenario-based labs. Formerly known as MetaCTF, SkillBit has served 220+ enterprises and run 450+ training events and competitions since 2019.

SkillBit's core philosophy is hands-on first: rather than passive video courses, learners work through practical labs and challenges that mirror real-world cybersecurity work. The platform serves both enterprise security teams and individual practitioners.
