The new version of Hackbase is dangerously realistic.
The company Positive Technologies has introduced an updated version of the Standoff Hackbase platform—a virtual environment for hands-on training in cybersecurity. The new version includes additional tasks, a redesigned infrastructure, and a seasonal training mode.
According to the company, exploiting vulnerabilities is involved in every third successful attack on organizations. Malicious actors continue to use both new and previously known vulnerabilities, which can lead to leaks of confidential data and disruptions in business services. In this context, regular training for specialists is seen as a key way to improve resilience against cyber incidents.
Standoff Hackbase is an online training ground, available 24/7, simulating IT systems close to real corporate environments. Participants can analyze security measures and search for vulnerabilities. The platform’s infrastructure covers various industries, including business process modeling, allowing users to study attack scenarios in a practical context.
