Cyber Threat Simulation Training
Cyber threat simulation is a good investment for most organizations because maintaining a strong security posture has never been more difficult.
According to the Ponemon Institute, the average data breach costs organizations roughly $4 million.
Nearly 400,000 new bits of malware are identified daily. Keeping tabs on such an enormous volume is a daunting task.
There’s that, and the growing complexity and adoption of cloud computing — and increased telecommuting as a result of COVID-19 — has greatly expanded the attack surface and created tough new shadow IT risks.
Analysts contend that an effective cyber threat simulation tool allows organizations to play offense by playing defense. Instead of waiting for the worst to happen and hoping your defenses are robust enough to deter any attack, simulating cyber-attacks allows you to test those defenses under real-world conditions.
Cyber threat simulation provides an organization’s IT professionals and security staff with real-life experience while visualizing how your defenses and strategy would hold up against an actual cyber-attack.
Cyber threat simulation (like fire drills), gives everyone in an organizations a real-life experience on how to react. By training people in cybersecurity practice labs, you can improve training efficiency and reduce costs.
Because cyber threat simulation training uses simulations of your real IT environment, you can gain lots of valuable data while you train your staff. Not only can this be used to improve and guide training, but it can also be used to gain insights about how and where to invest in IT security.
By replicating your environment, you can effectively “war-game” against potential attacks in realistic scenarios. Not only does this provide your IT professionals and security staff with real-life experience, but you can see how your defenses and strategy would hold up against an actual attack.
Additionally, cyber threat simulations help test cybersecurity strategies and new technology from a safe place. In other words, you can test out a realistic simulation of your IT networks rather than damaging the networks themselves.
Cybersecurity practice labs have been particularly effective in testing cyber defenses in a safe environment. This usually amounts to testing out a realistic simulation of your IT networks rather than damaging the networks themselves.
Likewise, cyber range training can be used to test new staff or be used during interviews to ensure new candidates have the right skills or mindset for important security roles.
Cyber range training can also be used to test new staff or be used during interviews to ensure new candidates have the right skills or mindset for important security roles.
An additional benefit: Cyber threat simulation practices help create a cybersecurity culture. When everyone is engaged in cybersecurity you can radically improve how people think and talk about cybersecurity, but also, most importantly, how they act when an attack occurs.
Cyber Threat Simulation Training Course by Tonex
Cyber Threat Simulation Training covers principles of cyber threats, advanced cyber warfare and threat simulation principles. Cyber Threat Simulation Training is split into multiple parts consisting of basic cybersecurity, advanced cybersecurity, principles of cyber threat and hands-on threat simulation exercises.
Gain an overview of the cyber threats and learn how to simulate, test and evaluate various global threats using your cyber systems. Cyber Threat Simulation Training course includes the perspectives of the Department of Defense (DoD) and industry cyber threat simulation and evaluates practitioners on their knowledge and skills and cover roles, responsibilities, processes, procedures, methods and tools to simulate cyber threats effectively in the cyber space.
Cyber Threat Simulation will train you and your team in the tactical, operational, and strategic level cyber threat modeling and simulation skills. Learn how your security team, threat hunting, incident response more efficient, accurate and effective.
