A SOC analyst training platform built on real defensive workflows
Each analyst trains hands-on in simulated SOC environments - alert triage, threat detection, hunting, and incident response - with AI-personalized pathways and measurable readiness.
- Analysts triage realistic alerts before working your live queue
- Objective, per-analyst readiness mapped to MITRE ATT&CK and NICE
- Faster onboarding from new hire to shift-ready
- Dashboards roll up readiness by analyst, role, and team
- Repeat scenarios and track improvement over time
Trusted by national CERTs, governments & academies
The problem
Turn new hires into shift-ready analysts
Certifications don't prepare an analyst to work a live queue. On CyCube, each analyst defends against realistic simulated attack scenarios hands-on, while AI-personalized pathways meet them at their current level. Objective scoring shows you who is shift-ready and who needs another rep.
Capabilities
What your analysts actually train on
SIEM and log analysis
Analysts query, pivot, and correlate across realistic log sources to reconstruct what happened - building the muscle memory that keeps them effective under pressure.
Alert triage and prioritization
Work a live-feeling alert queue: separate true positives from noise, escalate what matters, and document decisions - the core daily workflow of Tier 1 and Tier 2 analysts.
Threat detection
Each analyst works simulated attack scenarios end to end, learning to spot real adversary activity in the noise and catch what matters early.
Incident response
Run the full IR lifecycle on a contained breach scenario - scope, contain, eradicate, and recover - before a real incident forces the test.
Threat hunting
Form hypotheses from ATT&CK techniques, hunt across telemetry for adversary behavior, and surface activity that never tripped an alert.
Malware triage
Safely analyze suspicious artifacts, extract indicators, and assess scope and intent - turning an unknown sample into a clear response decision.
Framework alignment
Mapped to the frameworks your SOC already runs on
Every scenario and pathway on CyCube is mapped to industry frameworks, so training translates directly into the language your SOC and leadership already use to plan coverage and report progress.
MITRE ATT&CK
Scenarios map to MITRE ATT&CK techniques, so you train analysts against the adversary behaviors relevant to your threat model and show coverage across the matrix.
NICE Framework
Skills and pathways align to the NICE Framework, connecting hands-on practice to defined work roles for SOC analysts, threat hunters, and incident responders.
Who it's for
Built for the teams who run SOCs
SOC managers
Onboard new analysts faster, keep skills sharp between incidents, and get objective readiness data on who is ready for which tier and shift.
MSSPs
Standardize analyst skill across clients and locations, ramp new hires to billable readiness, and prove the depth of your bench.
Academies and ILT providers
Deliver hands-on SOC analyst courses at scale with ready-made scenarios, AI-personalized pathways, and assessments that prove graduate capability.
Governments and national CERTs
Build national defensive capacity with realistic simulations, objective per-analyst scoring, and dashboards that aggregate readiness by agency.
Proof

- SPAN d.d. and CyCube jointly launched a regional cybersecurity academy delivering SOC, forensics, and incident response courses on the platform.
- Cyprus CSIRT uses CyCube for attack simulations, SOC consulting, and upskilling - the Digital Security Authority's Chief Officer credits it with improving their security posture.
- MKD-CIRT runs structured practical training on CyCube, with participants reporting enhanced readiness.
- The Technion has partnered with CyCube since 2017 to deliver training in SOC operations, malware analysis, and cyber leadership.
More than a vendor, CyCube became a true partner. Together we launched a cybersecurity academy and delivered SOC, forensics and IR courses across the region using CyCube’s simulations and practical labs.
Why CyCube
CyCube vs. traditional SOC training
| CyCube | Typical alternative | |
|---|---|---|
| Environment | Hands-on simulated SOC with realistic alerts, logs, and attack scenarios | Slides, video lectures, and multiple-choice quizzes |
| Personalization | AI-personalized pathways that adapt to each analyst's skill level | One-size-fits-all curriculum at a fixed pace |
| Framework mapping | Every scenario mapped to MITRE ATT&CK and the NICE Framework | Generic content with no mapping to techniques or work roles |
| Measurement | Objective, per-analyst readiness data by skill and role | Completion certificates that say nothing about capability |
| Scope of skills | Full defensive workflow: triage, detection, hunting, IR, malware | Isolated CTF puzzles or narrow exploitation-only challenges |
FAQ
SOC analyst training platform FAQ
What is a SOC analyst training platform?
It's a platform that trains analysts on the real workflows of a SOC - alert triage, log analysis, threat detection, threat hunting, and incident response - in hands-on simulated environments. CyCube adds AI-personalized pathways and objective scoring, so you can see when an analyst is genuinely shift-ready.
How is this different from a CTF or a certification course?
CTFs are puzzle-driven and certifications mostly test recall. CyCube trains the defensive workflows analysts perform every day and scores skill against them - readiness you can act on, not just a badge.
Which SOC roles and skill levels does it cover?
From new Tier 1 hires through experienced Tier 2 and Tier 3 staff, threat hunters, and incident responders. AI-personalized pathways meet each analyst at their current level, and everything aligns to NICE Framework work roles.
Can we map training to MITRE ATT&CK?
Yes. Every scenario is mapped to MITRE ATT&CK techniques, so you can train against the adversary behaviors that matter to your threat model and report coverage to leadership.
How do we measure whether analysts are ready?
Every scenario produces objective, per-analyst scores rather than a completion flag. Dashboards roll up readiness by analyst, role, and team, so you can see exactly who is shift-ready and where the gaps are.
