SkillBit announced a bold leap in closing the cybersecurity skills gap: the launch of its OnDemand Labs training platform. OnDemand Labs gives corporate customers an immersive, performance-based solution that transforms how they recruit, retain, and upskill cybersecurity talent.
Cyber threats evolve faster than traditional education can keep pace, making the cybersecurity talent gap one of the most pressing challenges for corporate technology teams. In the 2025 CyberBay Survey, hundreds of IT professionals weighed in on the barriers:
- Over 80% agree there aren’t enough skilled professionals to meet demand
- 62.9% say professional training programs fall short of evolving demands
- 74.5% believe that the existing undergraduate cybersecurity curriculum is missing important elements
“It’s time for a new approach to upgrading cybersecurity talent,” said Thomas Rogers, co-founder and COO of SkillBit. “OnDemand Labs delivers active, hands-on skill development that equips security professionals to tackle real-world threats. Companies can now build stronger teams, track progress, and better defend their digital environment.”
