ABL Cyber Range Training

COGENT IT ICS OT Cyber Range

Cyber Range Training is based on the Strategic Offensive Principle of cyber warfare: The best defense is a good offense!

Know the Cyber IT OT attacks, to know how to defend your assets

NOTE: This is a North American Cyber Range Alliance (NACRA) Cyber Range – at NACRA we all know: “magic shared is magic lost”. When we learn the tricks and tools used by the “Magician” (aka, the Hacker), you are less likely to be fooled again by the attack. How do you become a magic buster? Start with beginner tricks and work your way up to more complex scenarios. Practice these scenarios as the magician is already here.

Cyber Attacks are “Inevitable” though most need NOT be successful!

The ABL Cyber Range uses and trains the actual tools many hackers use:

scan and identify security vulnerabilities in websites, online or offline applications
discover out-of-date system patches and operating systems
determine how you will exploit the vulnerabilities identified
attack with cyber weapons and tools to compromise and then exfiltrate or ransom or destroy data
assess the results and repeat attacks with other tools

use and apply lessons learned to:

plan a defensive strategy to mitigate or remediate the identified risks
document lessons learned

What You’ll Learn

This is the ABL learning and hands-on skills building cyber strategy. The Cyber Range target exercises train you to react appropriately. The Cyber Range delivers practice, practice, practice. Using the tools of cybersecurity over and over helps you to quickly and effectively defend assets under stress of attack.
