SkillBit Labs

Equip your corporate cyber team with practical experience, hands-on continuous training, and the insights needed to perform with confidence.

Based on a "learn by doing" philosophy

SkillBit Labs is a continuous skill development platform built for corporate cybersecurity teams. Based on a “learn by doing” philosophy, SkillBit Labs delivers hands-on, scenario-based training that mirrors real-world cyber workflows. The SkillBit Labs platform is structured around capture-the-flag (CTF) style challenges focused on assessing and developing cybersecurity skills by completing tasks.

For Cybersecurity Professionals

SkillBit Labs provides the opportunity for cybersecurity professionals to learn by doing in an isolated environment. With hundreds of hands-on challenges, individuals can:

Sharpen technical skills continuously

Explore role-relevant tools

Build confidence through real problem solving

For Managers

SkillBit Labs gives managers the ability to run a role-specific, measurable cyber skills development program. Rather than spending weeks designing a training program that may or may not work, spend the time on gaining insights to better understand what your team actually needs. SkillBit Labs provides insights to:

Individual or Team Skills and skills gaps

Skills necessary for specific roles

Unidentified strengths or opportunities for improvement

THE 20 MINUTE RULE

Training that fits your work day

Most training programs require employees to block off hours or even full days to make meaningful progress

SkillBit Labs is designed around a simple philosophy: anyone should be able to log in and make real progress in 20 minutes at a time

Training shouldn’t be a disruption to day-to-day work flow. We make skill development realistic for the pace of modern cybersecurity teams

Why it matters

Competence

Improve workforce readiness

Adoption

Increase engagement in training programs

Onboarding

Reduce time to productivity for new hires

Enablement

Whether you’re upskilling a SOC, onboarding a new AppSec team, or building long-term capability across your security organization, SkillBit Labs gives you the platform to do it consistently and at scale.

Hands-on training

SkillBit Labs includes 600+ hands-on, scenario-based “challenges” and 50+ learning modules. Individuals can follow structured learning paths curated by us, or take a “choose your own adventure” approach based on what they want to learn next.

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.  

Easy access for teams on corporate-managed devices.

I've found that [SkillBit Labs] invigorates and challenges my most talented engineers. SkillBit offers excellent content and tools that our folks love to use. I've had great experiences working with the team there, they've been so friendly and incredibly supportive.

Justin Hall

Senior Manager at Tenable

[SkillBit's] modular design supports the delivery of concise bite-sized learning units alongside practical mini challenges. The content on the platform is made by cybersecurity educators and professionals and supports students at different stages of cybersecurity skill development.

Dr. Marbin Pazos-Revilla

Assistant Professor of Cybersecurity at the University of South Florida

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.

Richard Schultz

IS Security Supervisor at Ramsey County

[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.

SOC Manager

Local Government in Minnesota

[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.

Juston Wang

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].
