Keeping a modern enterprise secure is as much a people problem as a technology one. The latest Cybersecurity Training Platforms Buyers Guide draws on activity data and interviews from more than 850 organizations worldwide to show that roughly 40% of the average security budget is already invested in staff, yet skills still lag behind rapidly evolving threats.

The research surfaces five market-defining trends that every buyer should factor into next year’s plans:

• Inefficient workforce development: Outdated tools inflate cost and ramping time.
• Human-error risk: Over 50% of serious incidents originate from skill gaps, not tooling deficiencies.
• Need for tailored pathways: Security isn’t one-size-fits-all and training must align to specific roles, frameworks, or business objectives.
• Shift to proactive security: 52.7% of leaders cite risk reduction as the top buying driver, eclipsing compliance and incident response triggers.
• Executive sponsorship: Evaluate solutions that translate cyber metrics into wider business impact.

This live webinar walks through the full data story, then maps each finding to concrete HTB capabilities, from purple-team cyber ranges to AI-security content. We aim to show exactly how to operationalize proactive, role-aligned training at scale.

Finally, attendees get to access practical tools and materials included in the guide, so you can leave with a plug-and-play checklist and align stakeholders for your next procurement cycle.
