We’re excited to join the growing Australian Cyber Network (ACN) community! Being part of this incredible network aligns perfectly with our mission to empower organizations to build highly effective cyber operations teams and contribute to driving positive outcomes for the cybersecurity industry. We look forward to collaborating and making an impact together! #Cybersecurity #ACN

Last week, 147 teams from 11 countries tackled 120 challenges over 55 hours on our platform as part of the ADFCSA Cyber Skills Challenge 2024. From Europe, North America, and Asia, participants navigated a smart city scenario, battling unknown cybercriminals who disrupted the city's critical infrastructures. Their mission? Solve unique threats and restore order before disaster strikes. But this wasn't just a competition but an opportunity to showcase skills, foster teamwork, and push boundaries. We're so proud to have been part of this journey, combining our award-winning military-grade platform with immersive challenges that bring out the best in everyone. A big thank you to UNSW Canberra Launch for providing the perfect space to host this event! Kudos to everyone who participated—you proved that serious challenges can also be seriously fun. #CyberSkillsChallenge #SeriousFun #CyberReady #SOCManagers #FIFTHDOMAIN #CyberSecurity

Cybersecurity skills gaps are causing significant challenges for hiring managers. According to the (ISC)² Cybersecurity Hiring Managers Guide, the cybersecurity skills gap is widening, with hiring managers struggling to find talent. The report highlights that the cybersecurity workforce shortage stands at 2.7 million globally, and many organizations are finding it difficult to fill critical positions. This shortage doesn’t just mean it’s hard to find the right candidate with the right skill set—it also means increased burnout among existing staff. One solution? UPSKILLING. Upskilling is one of the most effective ways to close the gap. Instead of waiting for the perfect hire, address the skills gap through continuous training and development to maintain a strong defense against cyber threats.

Here’s how we do it: -Scenarios that challenge your team across six specialties: Penetration, Intelligence, Protection, Detection, Engineering, and Investigation. -Practical exercises that bring theory to life. -Continuous skill development to keep your team sharp and ready.
