A DFIR training platform that builds case-ready investigators
Every analyst individually investigates realistic simulated attacks and is scored objectively. You see exactly who can run a real case - and who needs more reps.
- Every analyst practices evidence handling before a real case depends on it
- Investigators learn to trace simulated attacks from first foothold to origin
- Skills scored objectively and mapped to MITRE ATT&CK and NICE work roles
- AI-driven paths take each analyst from their current level to case-ready
- Dashboards show bench depth - who can run an investigation unassisted
Trusted by national CERTs, governments & academies
The problem
Build bench depth, one investigator at a time
Most DFIR teams lean on a single trusted examiner. CyCube builds the rest of your bench: every analyst individually investigates realistic simulated attacks, guided by AI-driven assessment and a personalized learning path. Objective scoring shows you exactly who is ready to run a real case.
Capabilities
The investigation skills each analyst builds
Evidence acquisition and handling
Each analyst practices collecting, validating, and safeguarding evidence in hands-on simulated environments - so the rigor is routine before the stakes are real.
Deep evidence analysis
Analysts work the evidence realistic simulated attacks leave behind, learning to surface attacker traces and trust their own findings under pressure.
Incident timeline reconstruction
From first foothold to final action, each investigator pieces together what happened and when - and turns raw evidence into a clear, defensible narrative.
Tracing intrusions to their origin
Analysts follow a simulated attack back to its point of entry, building the instinct to answer the first question every stakeholder asks: how did this start?
Framework alignment
Mapped to the frameworks your DFIR program reports against
Every scenario and learning path maps to recognized frameworks, so each analyst's hands-on progress translates directly into the language your leadership and auditors already use.
MITRE ATT&CK
Simulated attack scenarios map to MITRE ATT&CK, so analysts practice finding the specific traces real adversaries leave behind - not abstract textbook examples.
NICE Framework
Skills and learning paths align to the NICE Framework, connecting each analyst's hands-on practice to the work roles and competencies your organization hires and reports against.
Who it's for
Built for the organizations that answer the incident call
IR and forensics team leads
See bench depth at a glance: objective, per-analyst readiness data shows who can run an investigation unassisted, and onboarding takes days, not months.
Governments and national CERTs
Build national DFIR capacity with structured, standards-aligned training and measurable per-analyst readiness - the model national CERTs already run on CyCube.
Academies and universities
Deliver hands-on DFIR education at scale with cloud-based environments and objective assessment - the same platform behind the regional academy CyCube launched with SPAN d.d.
MSSPs and IR service providers
Prove the depth of your DFIR bench to clients, keep responders sharp between engagements, and ramp new hires to billable casework faster.
Proof
Trusted where forensic capability matters
- SPAN d.d. jointly launched a regional cybersecurity academy with CyCube, delivering SOC, forensics, and incident response courses on CyCube's hands-on platform.
- The Technion has partnered with CyCube since 2017 on programs spanning SOC operations, malware analysis, and cyber leadership.
- Cyprus CSIRT works with CyCube on attack simulations, SOC consulting, and upskilling - the Digital Security Authority's Chief Officer credits the partnership with improving national cyber posture.
- MKD-CIRT runs structured practical training on CyCube, with participants reporting enhanced readiness - and users include the Israel National Cyber Directorate and the Military Academy of North Macedonia.
We have collaborated since 2017. CyCube delivered dozens of programs tailored to diverse audiences, from SOC operations to cyber leadership and malware analysis. Their professionalism and commitment make them an excellent partner.
Why CyCube
CyCube vs. individual DFIR courses and certifications
| CyCube | Typical alternative | |
|---|---|---|
| Who it trains | Every analyst on your team, each on a personalized path on one platform | One examiner at a time through a single course or certification |
| Practice environment | Hands-on simulated environments with realistic evidence to investigate | Video lectures and a one-off evidence pack, if labs are included at all |
| Personalization | AI-driven skills assessment and adaptive paths matched to each analyst's level | A fixed curriculum at a fixed pace, regardless of experience |
| Measurement | Objective per-analyst scoring mapped to MITRE ATT&CK and NICE | A certificate and an exam score that say nothing about current capability |
| Management visibility | Dashboards roll up readiness by analyst, role, and team | Forwarded completion certificates and guesswork |
| Skills over time | Repeatable scenarios with improvement tracked over time | Skills that start decaying the day the course ends |
FAQ
DFIR training platform FAQ
What is a DFIR training platform?
It builds digital forensics and incident response skills through hands-on practice, not lectures. On CyCube, each analyst individually investigates realistic simulated attacks, guided by AI-driven assessment and a personalized learning path - and every exercise is scored objectively.
Do analysts train on realistic evidence?
Yes. Each analyst investigates realistic simulated attacks in hands-on simulated environments, working the evidence those attacks leave behind. The platform is cloud-based - no infrastructure to build, and analysts can be onboarded and training within days.
How is this different from sending analysts to individual DFIR courses?
A course ends when the exam does. CyCube develops each analyst continuously: adaptive paths meet them at their level, scenarios can be repeated, and improvement is tracked over time. You get objective readiness data across your bench instead of a stack of certificates.
Do our analysts need prior forensics experience?
No. AI-driven skills assessment establishes where each analyst stands, and adaptive paths build from there - newer analysts start with fundamentals while experienced examiners move straight to advanced work. You can grow forensic capability from within rather than only hiring it.
How do we measure whether an analyst is investigation-ready?
Every exercise produces an objective, skills-based score mapped to MITRE ATT&CK techniques and NICE work roles. Dashboards roll up readiness by analyst, role, and team, so you know exactly who to put on a live case - and how each investigator improves over time.
