With digital threats becoming increasingly pernicious and pervasive, the need for advanced cybersecurity training is more critical than ever. Addressing this imperative, MAD20 Technologies, a spinout of MITRE EngenuityTM, and CYBER RANGES, a global leader in cybersecurity workforce development, have forged a strategic partnership. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in cybersecurity education, offering the world's first comprehensive and dynamic training on the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
MAD20, known for its cybersecurity training, is now set to offer the world's first fully comprehensive training on the MITRE ATT&CK framework. This framework is a globally recognized foundation in cybersecurity, detailing various tactics and techniques used by adversaries. By integrating CYBER RANGES' industry-leading simulation and emulation-based training content with MAD20's ATT&CK training platform, the partnership is poised to offer a unique learning experience that is both dynamic and deeply rooted in practical application.
The cornerstone of MAD20's offering is its focus on "living certifications." This concept, rapidly gaining popularity in the cybersecurity world, ensures that certifications evolve alongside the fast-paced changes in cyber threats and technologies. It's a proactive approach to keeping skills relevant and up-to-date, crucial in a field where outdated knowledge can lead to significant vulnerabilities.
Reggie Stevens, CEO of MAD20, emphasizes this commitment to dynamic and interactive training. "Our partnership with CYBER RANGES and collaboration with MITRE reflect our dedication to revolutionizing cybersecurity education," Stevens said. "We're moving beyond theoretical concepts to practical, real-world knowledge that adapts to the constantly evolving cyber threat landscape."
On the other side, CYBER RANGES adds its expertise in creating immersive, simulation-based learning environments. These environments are designed to mimic real-world cyber threats, allowing learners to experience and respond to cyber-attacks in a controlled, safe-to-fail setting. Al Graziano, CEO of CYBER RANGES, highlights the importance of this approach. "Our collaboration with MAD20 and MITRE ATT&CK will enable cyber professionals to build confidence and skills necessary to combat increasingly sophisticated and dangerous threat actors," Graziano explained.
MAD20, as the official home for MITRE ATT&CK training and certification, boasts a rich heritage. It's a spinout of The MITRE Corporation and MITRE Engenuity, both known for their commitment to advancing national security and public good. MAD20's training and certification portal includes content and assessments developed by MITRE ATT&CK® experts, ensuring the highest quality and relevance of the learning material.
Similarly, CYBER RANGES has an impressive track record. It has collaborated with the United Nations ITU on designing and delivering ITU Cyber Drills and is a prominent member of the global Cyber Security community. Its commitment to developing highly skilled, employable cybersecurity professionals is evident through its partnerships with various global cybersecurity alliances.
As adversaries in the cyber world grow stronger and more sophisticated, the need for comprehensive, real-world training becomes increasingly critical. The partnership between MAD20 and CYBER RANGES addresses this need head-on, offering a training ecosystem that evolves in tandem with the threat landscape. This ensures that those responsible for safeguarding our critical infrastructure and societal structures are always equipped with the latest knowledge and skills.
