“Our mission is to make the world safe for compute,” said Brett Galloway, CEO of AttackIQ. “The best way to do that is to help organizations apply understanding of known adversary behaviors and transform to a threat-informed defense strategy. AttackIQ Academy is our way to give back to the security community and share knowledge, skills and expertise around this exciting new posture, at no cost.”
AttackIQ Academy was launched to accelerate the practice of threat-informed defense across the industry and has quickly earned significant interest.

Student reviews of the curriculum, which includes foundational courses for operationalizing MITRE ATT&CK, Purple Teaming and BAS have been overwhelmingly positive.
“Staying on top of the latest approaches to managing cybersecurity is critical to my ability to effectively protect my organization. The global COVID-19 pandemic has changed how and where we do our jobs, and our attack surface has never been broader. The free trainings offered through the AttackIQ Academy armed me with practical knowledge of how to implement a more proactive, integrated and threat-informed cybersecurity strategy,” said John Edmonds, Head of Technology, Essendon Football Club.
