INE Security Alert: Continuous CVE Practice Closes Critical Gap Between Vulnerability Alerts and Effective Defense
CARY, N.C., May 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- INE Security, a global leader in hands-on cybersecurity training and certifications, today highlighted how ongoing real-world practice with the latest CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) is essential for transforming security teams from reactive to proactive defenders.
With over 26,000 new CVEs documented in the past year, security teams are drowning in vulnerability alerts while facing exploit windows that have compressed to hours in many cases.
'Reading CVE bulletins is not the same as knowing how to stop the attack,' said Dara Warn, CEO at INE Security. 'Our Skill Dive platform gives practitioners hands-on experience with real vulnerabilities in contained environments, cutting incident response times when these same issues hit production. This practical approach delivers far more value than traditional security certifications alone.'
Skill Dive is INE Security's risk-free technical environment featuring exclusive labs not found in learning paths and courses. Skill Dive's Vulnerabilities Lab Collection offers a continuously updated library of labs specifically designed to provide hands-on practice with actual CVEs, allowing security practitioners, including those preparing for pentester certifications, to experience both the exploitation and mitigation of current real-world threats in a safe environment.
CVEs: From Bulletin to Defense
CVEs are the standard identifiers for known vulnerabilities, but many security teams struggle to implement effective mitigations at scale, even those with Sec+ and other entry-level certifications.
Common challenges include:
Practice Today's Threats. Prevent Tomorrow's Breaches.
INE Security's Skill Dive Vulnerabilities Lab Collection delivers:
'When a critical CVE drops, you don't have time to theorize,' said Tracy Wallace, Director of Content at INE Security. 'Teams with hands-on practice respond significantly faster because they've seen similar attack patterns before. Log4Shell (CVE-2021-44228) was a perfect example – practitioners who had experience with JNDI injection attacks were able to implement effective mitigations within hours, while others took days or even weeks to fully remediate.'
Real Benefits for Security Teams
Skill Dive delivers immediate advantages for practitioners:
SecOps teams, security analysts, and IT admins get exactly what certification courses miss: hands-on practice with real-world vulnerabilities.
'Security professionals who regularly drill on current vulnerabilities become exponentially more valuable to their organizations,' said Wallace. 'The best defenders understand both the attack and defense sides of the equation.'
High-Impact CVEs in the Skill Dive Collection
The platform features hands-on labs for the most actively exploited vulnerabilities in enterprise environments, including:
'We continuously track which vulnerabilities are most actively exploited,' said Wallace. 'Our collection prioritizes CVEs with the highest real-world impact, not just theoretical severity ratings.'
Proactive Security Through Deliberate Practice
The Skill Dive approach includes:
Recent lab additions include other top-exploited vulnerabilities such as Cacti Import Packages RCE (CVE-2024-25641), Gradio Path Traversal (CVE-2024-1561), Calibre Arbitrary File Read (CVE-2024-6781), Graylog Information Exposure (CVE-2024-24824), and Navidrome SQL Injection (CVE-2024-47062).
'Security teams that regularly practice with new vulnerabilities stop more breaches, period,' said Wallace. 'Practice transforms defense from constant firefighting into strategic advantage.'
Availability
Individual subscriptions to Skill Dive are available now. Enterprise packages for team training are also available.

This ambitious project is a key component of the Club's long-term vision to expand Mirasol's recreational offerings and ensure year-round access to high-quality play. Matt's accomplishments extend well beyond racquet sports. He oversaw the Club's $40 million expansion in 2016, which included the development of The Esplanade wellness facility, including fitness, spa, dining, and aquatics, and the flagship fine dining restaurant Solstice, among other award-winning amenities. His contributions to the hospitality industry have also been widely recognized. He was named Club Executive of the Year by the Club Managers Association of America in 2024, received the James H.
