According to Computing, with the majority of staff now working outside the safety of the corporate network, training them to recognize threats has never been more important. The Security Training Provider of the Year award recognizes the company that is working to bring new people into the world of security through a dedicated training program.
“Organizations face two distinct challenges in protecting themselves against cyber threats, lack of trained security experts and a shortage of hands-on experience in responding to active threats,” said Gordon Lawson, President of RangeForce. “Our Battle Skills platform and Battle Fortress Cyber Range enable companies to offer team members an individualized curriculum as well as execute blue team and red team exercises in a realistic simulated environment.”
