Cybersecurity

Challenge

New forms of malware emerge every few seconds. On top of malware, organizations are threatened by a multitude of cyber risk variants – ransomware, phishing, data leakage, hacking, and insider threats, to name a few. This threat grows even more serious with the emergence of artificial-intelligence-driven cyberattacks. In this environment, intensive ongoing cyber training remains the most important weapon in the cybersecurity professional’s arsenal.

One said, “Seeing Ransomware propagate throughout the environment and experiencing the deception techniques are something that must be experienced to appreciate adequately. Add to this the heightened emotional state of seeing the network that you are responsible for fall victim, and this "simulation" gives a completely unique experience that I have never received elsewhere. This is not a product demo where the variables are controlled to paint a technology solution in the best light; the product, in these instances, is the practitioner."
