TryHackMe over the years

TryHackMe was launched just over three years ago in December 2018. Co-founders Ben and Ashu met at a security internship in London, and swiftly discovered a significant lack of tools for teaching and learning cyber security. Everything focused on a black-box approach, where users were left to their own devices. This sparked a plan.

Although initially created as a passion project, cyber communities across the internet showed an overwhelming demand for TryHackMe. We were filling a niche that was yearned for, and the reception was incredible.

Fast forward 3 years, our training is utilised by over a million individuals looking to upskill and open career opportunities, businesses training employees to arm against cyber attacks, and schools introducing cyber to students. Our content spans all corners of cyber security and we strive to create quality, reactive labs that are easily consumable, understandable, and engaging.

We’ve been honoured to support a range of notable initiatives and events, including TechVets, Women in Tech, CyberScotland, and the CyberSafe foundation. A core value of ours is to make cyber security accessible to everyone - with fair prices and ease of use. Cyber security training should be available to all, without barriers.

The TryHackMe team has grown to over 30 people - people who develop the content you see on TryHackMe every day, manage users, and run things behind the scenes. We’re always looking for new talent to keep on top of this significant growth. Check out our job opportunities here!

What’s in store for the future?

We’ve had a heartwarming journey to one million; learning how much of an impact we’ve made to people achieving jobs, school children delving into the industry, and businesses arming defences. The whole team can't wait to continue creating awesome content and making a difference to user prospects.

As always, we will continue to develop quality, interactive training content needing only a browser for access. To every single person who uses TryHackMe - whether utilising free labs, avidly completing all of our training rooms or working your way through specific pathways, thank you!
