Cyberbit was founded in 2015 to address an acute issue: Cybersecurity teams are not prepared to deal with cyberattacks. Conventional training forces teams to learn on the job with no clear measurement of progress and very real repercussions. With disproportionally large investments into cybersecurity tools, cybersecurity teams lack the knowledge, skills, and experience to effectively deploy their toolsets, leading to a continued increase in breaches, regardless of technology investments. To address this issue, Cyberbit developed the first-ever hyper-realistic cyber skilling platform, ensuring that cybersecurity professionals have the right knowledge, skills, and experience to excel. The Cyberbit Skills Development platform includes cyber labs, commercial tool training (Splunk, Palo Alto Networks, Checkpoint, Carbon Black & more) with attacker context, and live-fire cyber range exercises aligned to industry best standards (NICE Framework, MITRE ATT&CK, NIST) to ensure your team develops into top-tier cybersecurity professionals. Performance-based assessment using advanced network sensors validate your team’s skills giving you the confidence that your digital assets are fully protected. Cyberbit contains the world’s largest catalog of on-demand simulated attacks including Ransomware, DDoS, SQL Injections, Worms, Fileless Attacks, and more. Cyberbit is used by leading organizations around the world including Fortune 500 organizations, MSSPs, governments, and academic institutions to transform their cyber practitioners into elite cyber defenders. Organizations use Cyberbit to create a better SOC team by upskilling their cyber professionals, validating incoming candidate skillsets, rapidly onboarding new hires, and validating incident response playbooks. Cyberbit delivers over now million hours of training annually across 5 continents.
