Cybersecurity Mastery for All

Our mission is to make cybersecurity mastery accessible to everyone. We achieve this through our cutting-edge Capture the Flag platform, helping organizations upskill their workforce.

Born in a Lab, Built for the World

Traboda was founded with a mission to bridge the cybersecurity skills gap and empower organizations through hands-on, practical solutions. Built by former members of the renowned Bi0s team, Traboda combines deep expertise with cutting-edge tools to help individuals and teams strengthen their security posture.

Our flagship Capture the Flag (CTF) platform enables organizations to assess, train, and upskill talent through real-world challenges. We offer specialized cybersecurity training across domains like ethical hacking, malware analysis, and hardware security.

Traboda has worked with global enterprises, educational institutions, and governments. We’ve hosted some of the world’s largest cybersecurity competitions—like Pentathon 2024 and InCTFj 2021 (co-organized with CBSE)—and led challenges at the IC3 contest in San Diego and Chile.

Our team has spoken at top conferences like DEF CON, Black Hat Asia, and NullCon. Whether through CTFs, trainings, or security services, Traboda is committed to building the future of cybersecurity—accessible, practical, and impactful.

From Internal Tools to Global Platforms

Traboda’s engineering DNA is the core of our innovation. What began as custom scripts and lab tools has grown into Arena, our flagship platform that allows enterprises, universities, and governments to assess, train, and upskill talent using real-world, fully isolated cybersecurity scenarios.

Arena supports:

  • Scalable CTF infrastructures with thousands of concurrent users
  • IoT, firmware, and OT attack environments
  • Malware analysis and RE labs with sandboxed VMs
  • Custom challenge orchestration for hiring, training, or competitions
  • Detailed analytics for skill measurement and talent benchmarking

What makes Traboda unique is that our challenges and training experiences are created by active researchers—not generic trainers—ensuring authenticity, depth, and technical freshness.

Training That Mirrors the Real World

Traboda offers specialized training programs across high-impact cybersecurity domains, including:

  • Ethical Hacking & Red Teaming
  • Malware Analysis & Reverse Engineering
  • IoT, Firmware, and OT Security
  • Hardware and Embedded Systems Security
  • Digital Forensics & Incident Response
  • Exploit Development

Each program is built around hands-on, scenario-driven labs, with participants working on real malware samples, actual firmware dumps, hardware devices, and OT protocol attacks. This moves learning beyond theory into practical, applied expertise.

Impact at Global Scale

  • Global enterprises adopting skill-first security engineering
  • Universities integrating practical cyber labs into their curriculum
  • Government skill development programs spanning tens of thousands of learners
  • Talent assessments and cyber hiring initiatives for MNCs

We’ve also powered some of the world’s largest cybersecurity competitions, including:

  • Pentathon 2024
  • InCTFj 2021 (co-organized with CBSE)
  • National-level and state-sponsored cyber challenges
  • International IC3 contests in San Diego and Chile

Across all of these, Traboda’s platforms have proven their resilience, scalablity, and reliability.

Our Founder

A cybersecurity veteran with over a decade of experience in the USA and UK, our founder’s journey began with a passion for mentoring students at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham. In 2007, he helped form Team bi0s, India’s first CTF team, which went on to launch InCTF in 2010 — the country’s first-ever CTF competition.

He later founded renowned student communities like amFOSS and Team Shakti, and today personally mentors over 300 engineering students through these initiatives.

Driven by the belief that world-class cybersecurity talent can be nurtured in India, he founded Traboda CyberLabs — a culmination of his vision to build, empower, and protect through hands-on learning and real-world impact.
