Proving Readiness Before the Interview
Welcome to The Cyber Combine
The Cyber Combine is Bridging Cyber’s workforce readiness engine — purpose-built to prepare, evaluate, and surface real-world capability long before the interview.
We design upskilling tools, live simulations, and competitive environments that allow professionals across cybersecurity, IT, networking, automation, and data to practice for high-stakes moments, validate role competency, and demonstrate how they think under pressure.
Through Combine competitions and scenario-based challenges, Bridging Cyber scouts talent for employers — ensuring the most capable professionals don’t just earn credentials, but earn visibility, confidence, and the right to compete for opportunity.

Not a Competition but A Continuum of Capability.
Our Goal:
Hackathons measure moments. The Cyber Combine measures mastery.
Built within the Bridging Cyber ecosystem, the Combine continuously validates real-world performance across technical disciplines — turning hands-on execution into meaningful workforce insight.
Participants don’t just earn credentials. They analyze, defend, and respond within live cyber-physical scenarios, building a verified readiness profile where capability is measured, documented, and aligned to role frameworks and continuing education requirements — providing employers and institutions with a clearer signal of true job readiness.
