New LinkedIn data shows a widening cybersecurity talent gap. According to LinkedIn data, companies hiring for cybersecurity skills are up 75% year-over-year, and job postings have surged 31%. Yet, the number of professionals adding cybersecurity to their profiles has grown by only 4%. This partnership helps to address that gap, making hands-on, threat-informed cybersecurity learning accessible at scale.

Building on this partnership, Hack The Box, home to more than 1,800 hands-on cybersecurity labs and courses, will contribute a curated selection of threat-informed labs to the LinkedIn Learning experience. These labs will be delivered through HTB Academy, the company’s guided upskilling platform.

Designed exclusively for LinkedIn Learning, the new training labs, focused on the most in-demand cybersecurity analyst skills, will deliver real-world, role-based upskilling that redefines workforce readiness. This collaboration makes performance-based, scenario-driven learning more accessible, empowering organizations to close critical skills gaps and build cyber-ready teams at scale.

"As threat actors increasingly adopt AI to accelerate and evolve cyberattacks, organizations must equip their teams adequately to respond with speed, precision and expertise," said Haris Pylarinos, Founder & CEO of Hack The Box.

"One of the biggest challenges facing organizations today isn’t just filling cybersecurity roles, it’s guaranteeing that talent can grow, adapt, and lead through change," said Lea Kissner, Chief Information Security Officer at LinkedIn.
