Leverage Competitive Training With Advent of Cyber for Business

Advent of Cyber is just around the corner, launching on Tuesday 1st December!

For 24 days leading up to Christmas, we’ll be releasing tasks and challenges relating to common security topics, broken down into bite-sized walkthroughs and challenges. Each task is self-contained and includes the basic information required for your team to start working on a security challenge, following a fun, festive Christmas story.

Advent of Cyber is a fantastic training tool for businesses, introducing and upskilling business teams in cyber, with beginner-friendly security exercises released each day.

Advent of Cyber for Business

Throughout the month of Advent of Cyber, your team can get involved in daily challenges, in a collaborative, engaging and festive environment. You can also get access to the TryHackMe management dashboard to monitor your team’s progress across the entire platform, in challenges you set.

Ongoing training and upskilling are critical in the workplace and are invaluable in arming teams with the knowledge and skills to prevent threats and reduce negative implications. Alongside sparking engagement, retention, innovation, and productivity, Advent of Cyber encourages collaboration and competition amongst your team members.

We’re covering a fantastic variety of areas in defensive and offensive security, including Red Teaming, Cyber Investigations, Web Exploitation, IoT Hacking, and Cyber Defence - all of which are completely free to take part in, with no costs involved.

Why Get Involved?

Businesses can use the Advent of Cyber drive to highlight the importance and mitigate the risk of human error, alongside consistently upskilling teams with regular training on new threats and mitigation methods.

Through habitual learning in the month-long drive of Advent of Cyber, your team can learn consistently in a pattern for high learning retention. Building habits help employees achieve their goals successfully, drive success, increase contribution, and better job satisfaction. Habits can take as little as 18-21 days to develop into automatic behaviour, highlighting the importance of habituation in learning, routine, and retention.

Best of all, TryHackMe’s festive real-world tasks are transferable to job responsibilities, allowing your team to upskill and progress.

Having a competitive, month-long drive to boost participation, in a fun and festive event to get teams talking about the important of cyber security and how to mitigate common risks - with incentives and prizes for the ultimate employee buy-in!
