The objective of this study was to develop a webbased platform to increase the interest of students who are new to cybersecurity and to help them acquire security paradigms in a multidimensional way. The main objective of the study was to provide an effective gateway to cybersecurity by increasing the self-confidence of a student who has no cybersecurity background or who is new to the field. In fact, the Capture the Flag (CTF) provides an applied environment where students can apply the lessons learned in theory to real cases. To test the validity of the developed training system, a research was conducted with the targeted student group. The findings indicated that the CTF approach can be an effective tool in the education of a student who is new to cyber security. The feedback from the students indicated that 77.8% of the CTF logic and foundation was gained. Furthermore, the students reported that the tasks and scenarios, which were designed to reflect the multifaceted nature of cyber security, had a positive impact on their confidence in the field. It was concluded that CTFs can be evaluated as an effective training tool in the direction of cyber security education, based on both the literature review and the feedback received from the students in practice. The data supporting this argument were included in the study.
