Introducing a Faster, Modern ThreatSims
We're excited to announce a massive refresh of the ThreatSims platform! It delivers the same hands-on cybersecurity training and events you love, but now with a better look and enhanced performance.
Published on February 2, 2026
Don't worry, under the hood it's the same powerful platform trusted by the professionals and cybersecurity communities worldwide. We just made everything faster, prettier, and more fun to use.
So what’s new?
The ThreatSims Blog
You're looking at it! We've just launched a dedicated blog to keep you informed and engaged with the cybersecurity community. Expect write-ups, insights, platform updates, and more.
Lightning-Fast Performance
We rebuilt the entire frontend from the ground up. Pages load instantly, navigation is snappy, and the whole platform responds faster than ever. Whether you're in a workshop or a live CTF event, you'll notice the difference.
18 Visual Styles (Yes, Really)
We went way beyond simple dark mode. The new platform ships with 9 unique themes, each with light and dark variants.
You can stick to our clean, professional look, or get nostalgic with Retro Arcade and Windows 95. We even included a Hot Dog Stand theme for the bold and adventurous! You can switch themes instantly from any page to match your mood.
Mobile-First Design
The new platform is optimized for phones and tablets. Review workshop chapters on your commute or check event scoreboards from the couch. The new interface puts your learning content front and center while keeping labs just a click away.
What's Coming Next
We aren't hitting the brakes anytime soon. Some awesome features are on track to launch very soon to help you learn even faster:
Free Monthly Workshops and Events: Keep an eye out for regular free community events and workshops.
Cloud Workstations: Linux workstation running directly in your web browser during workshops and events.
Full-Range Labs: Our workshops are getting a major upgrade with massive, complex lab environments for you to explore.
