    Last week, 147 teams from 11 countries tackled 120 challenges over 55 hours on our platform as part of the ADFCSA Cyber Skills Challenge 2024. From Europe, North America, and Asia, participants navigated a smart city scenario, battling unknown cybercriminals who disrupted the city's critical infrastructures. Their mission? Solve unique threats and restore order before disaster strikes. But this wasn't just a competition but an opportunity to showcase skills, foster teamwork, and push boundaries. We're so proud to have been part of this journey, combining our award-winning military-grade platform with immersive challenges that bring out the best in everyone. A big thank you to UNSW Canberra Launch for providing the perfect space to host this event! Kudos to everyone who participated—you proved that serious challenges can also be seriously fun. #CyberSkillsChallenge #SeriousFun #CyberReady #SOCManagers #FIFTHDOMAIN #CyberSecurity

    Cybersecurity skills gaps are causing significant challenges for hiring managers. According to the (ISC)² Cybersecurity Hiring Managers Guide, the cybersecurity skills gap is widening, with hiring managers struggling to find talent. The report highlights that the cybersecurity workforce shortage stands at 2.7 million globally, and many organizations are finding it difficult to fill critical positions. This shortage doesn’t just mean it’s hard to find the right candidate with the right skill set—it also means increased burnout among existing staff. One solution? UPSKILLING. Upskilling is one of the most effective ways to close the gap. Instead of waiting for the perfect hire, address the skills gap through continuous training and development to maintain a strong defense against cyber threats. Ready to tackle the skills gap in your cyber team? Visit FIFTH DOMAIN at www.fifthdomain.pro to learn how we can help you assess and enhance your team’s capabilities.

  • Let's talk about cybersecurity training. The problem we see: -Too much theory -Not enough hands-on experience This results in teams lacking the confidence to tackle real-world threats. But there’s a better way. Theoretical knowledge is crucial, but it’s not enough. To truly prepare your team for the real cyber world, they need immersive, hands-on training in a safe, controlled environment. Here’s how we do it: -Scenarios that challenge your team across six specialties: Penetration, Intelligence, Protection, Detection, Engineering, and Investigation. -Practical exercises that bring theory to life. -Continuous skill development to keep your team sharp and ready. Don’t rely on theory alone to protect your organization. Ready to level up your team’s skills? Sign up on our platform today!
