Our Program
Creating a strong foundation in cybersecurity is essential, especially for beginners. Our training program is designed to lay the basic building blocks that our Cybervets can build upon as they continue to learn more. In order to defend against bad actors, we need them to think like one. Our Cybervets will learn how to compile their own tools and resources to build their own Cyber Dojo. Once that foundational layer is established it sets them on a path of continuous learning.
