Training for Cyber Defense: Why Is It Crucial?
In order to remain as good as we can, we need to permanently undertake various trainings and practices. The field of cyber security can in fact be compared to medicine – there is always a need to learn and practice new procedures as the field evolves incredibly fast.
Professional cyber security guards in Binary Confidence spend at least 20% of their work time in training. We all understand the necessity to do so because it is the only way to keep track with potential attackers and threats. However, we do the same for our clients – we provide them with our special trainings .
CDC – our Cyber Defense Center is equipped with technology that is needed to model various cyber defense scenarios. It provides a large testing environment which we use for our very own SEC Point Academy. The environment we use is modifiable because the requirements vary from client to client and it was built for Locked Shield trainings (used in NATO War Game). The virtual environment is built based on client´s real IT security structure so the outcome for employees is as authentic as possible .
The preparation takes 2 – 3 days and the training in SEC Point Academy takes up to 8 hours and is constructed to offer different types of attacks (generic, collaborative, APT, Backdoor, phishing or malware ) all previously scheduled in the training scenario. There are four teams each with different responsibility and a consultant available. When the training is over, there is an evaluation with detailed report for the client on what went well, what did not, and what should be improved. The results may vary therefore the clients´ employees will be advised to attend the training in the next 6-12 months again. Should you be interested in passing our SEC Point Academy training, do not hesitate to contact us so we can answer all your questions.
