Cyber Skills Training Platform
Immersive, real-world cyber missions & labs
Security teams, especially SOC teams and incident response teams, are expected to respond and stop evolving cyber threats in real time. But most have never practiced doing it. The impact can be significant, often costing millions per breach. Organizations that detect and contain attacks faster can reduce that cost by roughly $1 million.¹
Most organizations rely on cyber security tools, vulnerability management systems, and automated alerts.
These tools are essential, but they do not prepare teams to perform during a live attack.
Many teams have never practiced real-time incident response, coordinated decision-making, or defending against active threats.
Explore how real-world cyber missions can strengthen your response performance and readiness.
The real question is...
Con your team respond to a live cyber attack under pressure?

Frequently asked questions
The Cyber Skills Training Platform is a type of cyber security training that uses immersive, simulated environments to help teams practice defending against real cyber threats.
Instead of learning through lectures, participants use hands-on cybersecurity labs and cyber-attack mission simulations to build skills in areas like incident response, threat detection, and vulnerability management.
This approach helps security teams apply what they learn in realistic scenarios, so they are better prepared for real-world attacks.
A simulation is a virtual environment where individuals and teams can practice cyber security skills in a safe, controlled setting.
It allows users to:
- Run cyber attack simulations
- Practice incident response training
- Test tools and techniques without risk to real systems
It is designed to replicate real-world networks, systems, and cyber threats.
DeVryPro's Cyber Skills Training Platform is designed for teams responsible for managing and responding to cyber threats, including:
- SOC (Security Operations Center) teams
- Incident response teams
- Cybersecurity professionals and analysts
- IT and security leaders
It is useful for organizations looking to improve cyber readiness training and strengthen their ability to respond to real incidents.
Learners can build a wide range of cybersecurity skills, including:
- Incident response and threat investigation
