CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 19,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- MAD20 Technologies,
the comprehensive provider of cybersecurity training and
credentialing for MITRE ATT&CK Defender™ (MAD), which was
recently spun out of MITRE Engenuity™, is thrilled to announce its
commitment to donate $1,000,000
towards the training of over 2,000 cybersecurity professionals who
are either from underrepresented backgrounds or are former members
of the US armed forces. To carry out this effort, MAD20 will be
partnering with various organizations across the country who embody
this mission. Through this commitment, MAD20 hopes to begin to
close the gender, ethnic, and socioeconomic gap to promote
diversity in the industry.
Many organizations throughout the world
list MITRE ATT&CK proficiency as a critical job pre-requisite.
As such, we recognize the positive impact we can have by improving
the job prospects of underrepresented groups and former members of
our military through initial and continuous skills
development.
MAD20's cybersecurity training program is recognized for its
comprehensive curriculum on MITRE ATT&CK® - a curated knowledge
base and model for cyber adversary behavior. MAD20's approach of
continuous skills development and skills assessment serves the
mission of teaching towards efficacy rather than static
certifications.
"Organizations throughout the world trust MAD20 to continuously
develop and assess their cyber practitioners on MITRE ATT&CK.
Many of these organizations list MITRE ATT&CK proficiency as a
critical job pre-requisite." said Reggie
Stevens, CEO of MAD20. "As such, we recognize the positive
impact we can have by improving the job prospects of
underrepresented groups and former members of our military through
initial and continuous skills development on MITRE ATT&CK."
The MITRE ATT&CK® Defender™ program, established in 2021,
has quickly become a trusted name in cybersecurity education on the
ATT&CK framework. With a focus on delivering practical,
real-world training, MAD20 prepares individuals and organizations
to defend against the latest cyber threats. Their state-of-the-art
training modules cover a wide range of topics, from basic
cybersecurity principles to advanced threat detection and response
techniques.

advantage over adversaries. Its MAD20 training and certification
portal includes content and assessments originally developed by the

ATT&CK framework knowledge base. Collectively, the MAD20 team
represents over 40 years of experience among senior members of the
U.S. military within cyber operations. The MAD20 system
incorporates elements of the software developed by The MITRE
Corporation on behalf of the U.S. Government.
