SkillBit Labs

Hands-On Skill Development for Corporate Cyber Teams

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.

Their biggest challenges included:

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

Adoption

Hands-on Training

SkillBit Labs includes 500+ hands-on, scenario-based “challenges” and 30+ 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.

Browser-Based VMs

SkillBit Labs integrates with the systems organizations already use to manage training and development, including

LMS platforms

We are excited to use SkillBit in class. Its 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.

SkillBit Labs allows the team to work on the question/problem in their own leisure, and it also brings the team together on Tuesdays to work through the latest weekly challenge release. The team has a wide range of skill sets so this 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.
