FifthDomain is proud to announce its recent triumph at the Innovation2023 Awards, where FifthDomain was recognised for its outstanding contributions to the field of cybersecurity.

This achievement is a testament to FifthDomain’s dedication to innovation and its commitment to making a difference in cyber talent acquisition.
Tackling the Skills Gap in Cybersecurity
The modern landscape of cybersecurity is dynamic and ever-evolving, and as a result, the demand for skilled professionals in this sector has never been greater. Recognising this need, FifthDomain has been working on a revolutionary platform known as our Cyber Skills Assessment platform. This browser-based tool has been designed to identify cyber talent that may go unnoticed through traditional recruitment processes.
Cyber Skills Assessment Platform: Revolutionising Cyber Talent Identification
FifthDomain’s platform takes a novel approach to identifying and nurturing cybersecurity talent. It does this by providing a risk-free environment where potential candidates can undergo skills-based assessments. These assessments are carefully crafted to replicate real-world scenarios that cybersecurity professionals often encounter in their jobs. This innovative approach brings several key benefits to the table:
Reducing Bias in Hiring: Traditional hiring processes may unintentionally introduce biases that can limit diversity in the cybersecurity workforce. The platform is designed to minimise such biases by focusing on skills and capabilities, rather than relying solely on resumes or interviews.
Supporting Neurodiversity: The cybersecurity sector, like many others, is becoming increasingly aware of the importance of neurodiversity in the workplace. The platform caters to neurodiverse individuals who may face challenges with conventional hiring methods. By providing a more inclusive and supportive environment, it enables individuals with diverse cognitive abilities to demonstrate their potential.
Realistic Assessments: The platform’s skills-based assessments are constructed to mirror the day-to-day challenges and responsibilities faced by cybersecurity professionals. This approach not only aids in identifying the right talent but also ensures that candidates are well-prepared to excel in their future roles.
FifthDomain’s receipt of the Innovation2023 Award for Excellence in Cybersecurity is a testament to its unwavering commitment to addressing the skills gap in the cybersecurity sector. Our platform stands as a testament to FifthDomain’s dedication to innovation and its mission to create a more diverse, inclusive and highly skilled workforce within Cyber.
As we look ahead, it is clear that FifthDomain’s innovative approach to talent acquisition will continue to have a positive impact on industry and pave the way for a more secure digital future.
