What is hands-on cyber security training?

Reading slides doesn't build skill — breaking and defending real systems does. TryHackMe turns every lesson into a live exercise your team can complete in the browser, then measure.

Guided rooms

Step-by-step labs with explanations, hints and answer fields — learn a concept, then immediately do it.

Learning paths

Role-based tracks — Red Team, SOC, Cloud — that build skills progressively from fundamentals to advanced.

AttackBox VMs

Cloud-based attack and target machines launch in seconds — from any location, with nothing to install.

Gamified & ranked

Points, badges, streaks and leaderboards keep teams engaged — capture flags and climb the ranks.

The challenge

Slides and videos don't create defenders — or attackers.

Passive, theory-only training fades fast and can't be measured. Teams need to practise real attacks and investigations, safely and repeatedly.

Passive training

  • Slide decks and videos with no hands-on practice
  • Skills fade quickly and can't be measured
  • Costly lab setup and fragile home environments
  • Slow onboarding and no visibility into skill gaps

With TryHackMe

  • Real machines and attacks, guided and hands-on
  • Progress, scores and MTTR tracked for every learner
  • Browser-based labs — nothing to install or maintain
  • Role-based paths that close skill gaps fast
One platform, every team

Training for offensive, defensive and cloud teams.

From junior analysts to senior red teamers — role-specific, real-world content that keeps everyone current on the latest threats.

Red Team & offensive

Recon, web exploitation, Active Directory attacks, privilege escalation, C2 and post-exploitation — hands-on, safely.

Blue Team & SOC

Detection, incident response, forensics, containment and eradication — investigate real compromises.

SOC Simulator

Live alert queues with true and false positives — triage and investigate with real tools and playbooks.

Threat Hunting Simulator

Proactively hunt stealthy attacker activity through guided, hypothesis-driven investigation workflows.

Tabletop Exercises

Spin up bespoke incident scenarios in seconds — ransomware, insider threat — and rehearse your response plan.

Cloud security (AWS & Azure)

Attack and defend realistic AWS and Azure environments in safe, sandboxed cloud labs.

Custom CTF events

Bespoke Capture the Flag events, virtual or onsite — build teamwork and sharpen skills under pressure.

Progress & reporting

Dashboards for managers — track progress, identify gaps and measure metrics like Mean Time to Resolve.

Browser-based, no setup

Cloud VMs launch instantly from anywhere — new labs added weekly, always current with emerging threats.

One unified platform

Offensive, defensive and cloud — trained and tracked together.

TryHackMe brings every team onto one platform with role-specific content and a single view of progress. Managers assign paths, spot skill gaps and measure improvement — while learners practise on real machines and rack up flags.

Role-based content

Skill- and role-specific rooms for junior to senior, offensive to defensive — always up to date.

Measurable outcomes

Track progress and KPIs like MTTR; teams using TryHackMe report up to a 25% improvement.

Fresh, real-world labs

800+ labs with new content added weekly — reflecting the latest tools, TTPs and threats.

From skill gap to proven capability

How your team levels up.

A simple, repeatable loop — assess where the team stands, train on real labs, simulate real incidents, then measure the improvement and repeat.

STEP 01

Assess

Benchmark current skills by role and identify gaps across offensive, defensive and cloud.

STEP 02

Train

Assign learning paths and rooms; teams practise on real AttackBox machines in the browser.

STEP 03

Simulate

Run SOC simulations, threat hunts, tabletop exercises and CTFs against realistic scenarios.

STEP 04

Measure

Track progress and KPIs like MTTR on manager dashboards — then close the next gap.

Built for Red Teams

Practise the full attack chain — safely.

Give your offensive team a live playground to sharpen every phase of an engagement. From external recon to domain dominance, TryHackMe covers the techniques red teamers and penetration testers use — with paths that map to industry certifications.

End-to-end offensive skills

Recon, web & network exploitation, Active Directory, privilege escalation, C2 and exfiltration.

Certification-aligned paths

Jr Penetration Tester and offensive paths that build toward recognised industry certifications.

Real targets, zero risk

Attack vulnerable machines in isolated cloud labs — no client systems, no legal grey areas.

HANDS-ON
Guided, not guesswork

Every room walks you through — then lets you do it.

Each room breaks a real technique into tasks with clear explanations, then asks you to prove it on a live machine and submit the flag. Learners never get stuck, and every completed task is measurable progress.

Explain, then do

Concept, walkthrough and a hands-on task in every room — with hints when you need them.

Instant validation

Submit the flag and get instant feedback and points — progress is tracked automatically.

Learn at any level

From absolute beginner to advanced red teamer — paths scale with the learner.
