Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

There is a massive skills gap in cyber security. The problem continues to get worse. Even those receiving some formal training are unprepared for practical work in cyber security.

We are training capable cyber warriors and getting the direct employment with companies and other employment partners. They are happy to utilize the highly capable talent we are producing and are eager for more.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

!) Education. Traing people in practical, real world, skills for computer network attack (CNA), computer network defense (CND), and digital forensics (DF).
2) Gathering data on cyber attacks, malware, Internet of Things (IoT), and hardware attacks. Documenting and reporting new findings to the relevant interested parties.
3) Changing the cyber security inductry. Fostering collaboration, an understanding of the entire cyber security eco-system, and delivering capable talent to companies and other organizations in desperate need of capable cyber warriors.

* Real world, hands on training. Learning from a book does not work. Simulators provide false confidence and unprepared talent. Our training material, targets, and culture change all of that quickly and dramatically.
* Interconnection with the entire cyber security eco-system. Nearly everyone has a limited view of the cyber security landscape. We cover the entirety of the cyber security eco-system which results in highly capable talent.
* Collaboration. We foster a culture of collaboration. United we stand also implies divided we fall.

* Access to real talent with experience. Not certified people, or some professor. Real people who have decades of experience in cyber warfare.
* Strong partnerships. All players work and converge into our ranges. This enables our students to interconnect themselves to everything and everyone relevant to cyber security,

* Full employment. All of our students seeking work are fully employed in the cyber security field of their choice.
* Rapid expansion. We have three locations in Arizona and will be expanding that to 11 within 2 years.
* Expansion to other states. we are in talks to expand to several other states.
