The Cyber Mentors: Are CTF Platforms Useful? (Ask a CISO)

https://www.tcm.rocks/pbb-y - Prep yourself for CTFs and beyond with courses like the beginner-friendly Practical Bug Bounty! Even if you just want to get better at bug bounties, it's a solid course to take.



Should you be using CTF platforms like SkillBit and Hack The Box as you progress in your cybersecurity journey?



In this episode of Ask a CISO, Alex Tushinsky (CISO of Educate360 and TCM Security) gives a resounding yes!



CTF platforms are a great way to sharpen your technical skills, practice exploiting vulnerabilities, and build experience that can be valuable during real-world penetration tests.



But there's an important distinction: CTFs are a way to develop your skills, not a substitute for the full skill set required during a real-world engagement.
