Forbes spoke to our CEO, Adi Dar, about his personal story, leading to the creation of the market-leading cybersecurity skill development platform.
Adi explains how we came up with the concept of a hyper-realistic cyber range over 5 years ago, and how it evolved into one of the most widely used platforms for upskilling information security professionals, from beginners to mission-ready teams.
The University of Texas at San Antonio has a role in the new center. Over the past five months, Joe Mallen, director of UTSA’s Cyber Range, has been speaking with local leaders to provide training to security analysts who will be staffing the center, and an agreement for 2022 is being finalized. City officials also purchased an annual subscription to the Cyber Range training platform.
Employees at the Illinois Office of the Treasurer working in a web server-heavy environment suddenly noticed that the servers had been taken over and the public-facing websites defaced. Drawing on the cyber defense tools they had at their disposal, they acted quickly to minimize the impact and return to normal operations.
A crowd comprised of educators, students, cybersecurity professionals and U.S. Rep. Frank J. Mrvan, D-Highland, gathered at the Ivy Tech Valparaiso campus Monday morning to cut the ribbon on a cybersecurity teaching lab.
As the massive shortage of security talent and skills continues, sub-par recruitment processes and outdated training for cybersecurity professionals are exacerbating the problem, according to a new survey by Cyberbit.
To address the growing global demand for skilled cybersecurity talent, Deloitte partnered with Cyberbit, the world leading SOC readiness and skills development platform. The partnership empowered Deloitte’s EMEA Cybersphere Center (ECC) to advance their clients’ cyber skills.
The center was created to address the shortage of cybersecurity professionals — particularly for the financial services industry — in today’s workforce. CSU’s range, purchased from Cyberbit, is the same range once used to train the Israeli Defense Force to protect the nation of Israel against cyber-attacks. The range is capable of simulating cyber incursions ranging from a simple web defacement to a full-blown ransomware attack.
According to a new study from TAG Cyber, the Cyberbit training platform was proven to dramatically reduce hiring costs, save security tool costs, improve time to response, and more.
