Skill Dive offers more than 2,400 cybersecurity, networking, and cloud labs, carefully curated to help practitioners upskill through a targeted topic-focused approach. 

“Skill Dive equips teams and practitioners with a tool to train and practice applied know-how for best results,” said Dara Warn, INE’s CEO. “This powerful lab platform supplements INE’s comprehensive training modules with labs and capture the flags  that are custom-built for hands-on training in a protected virtual machine setting; allowing teams to practice data-sensitive labs in a safe environment.” 

Skill Dive currently offers 25 lab collections and more than 2,400 labs, with dozens of new labs being built and released monthly to meet evolving industry needs - creating a timely training exercise for rapid response in real-world scenarios.

INE built Skill Dive utilizing powerful lab technology created by Pentester Academy, which INE acquired in 2021. Using that platform as a launching pad, INE created Skill Dive, a standalone new lab experience offering an extensive catalog of labs and CTFs designed for those looking to accelerate their training by engaging in additional challenging, scenario-based labs in cybersecurity and networking. 

Earlier this year, INE celebrated its 20th anniversary, introduced INE Security, formally integrating eLearnSecurity into the INE parent brand, and released a highly anticipated new enterprise assessment tool, Skill Sonar. You can read more about those initiatives and recent industry awards here.
