Skillable (Cybersecurity Skills Labs)

Skillable operates a hands-on virtual lab platform used broadly across the IT industry for training, skills validation, and certification, and within that platform maintains a specific focus on cybersecurity skills labs used for training, tournaments, and high-stakes certification exams. Rather than video-based or slide-based instruction, Skillable’s model puts learners into live, interactive lab environments where they practice real tools and scenarios, an approach particularly suited to cybersecurity topics where hands-on proficiency matters more than passive knowledge recall.

Established in 2004, Skillable has launched more than 50 million labs for more than 400 companies, and has been recognized 21 times as a G2 leader in virtual IT labs, with security certifications including ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II. Its customer base spans employee training, customer education, technical sales enablement, and job-readiness validation, with cybersecurity being one of several major skill domains delivered through the platform.

At the 2026 Global InfoSec Awards, Skillable won in both Most Innovative Security Training and Pioneering Cybersecurity Training, categories reflecting the specific cybersecurity training use cases built on its broader lab infrastructure, distinct from pure-play cybersecurity-only training vendors like Security Journey or Secure Code Warrior that focus exclusively on developer secure coding.
