ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA, UNITED STATES, July 9, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — MAD20 Technologies, a leading provider of cybersecurity training on MITRE ATT&CK®, is thrilled to announce the donation of 100 annual subscription licenses for its comprehensive training program to Cyberjutsu, a renowned organization dedicated to raising awareness of cybersecurity career opportunities and advancement for women in the field, closing the gender gap and the overall workforce gap in information security roles.
This contribution underscores MAD20’s commitment to fostering diversity and inclusion within the cybersecurity industry and represents the inaugural gift of MAD20’s $1,000,000 ATT&CK The Gap Campaign, aimed at narrowing the gender, ethnic, and socioeconomic gap in the cybersecurity industry through continuous upskilling, reskilling, and assessment. The initiative will also support former members of the US military. MAD20’s cybersecurity training program, originally designed by MITRE Engenuity™, is recognized for its comprehensive curriculum on MITRE ATT&CK®. The curriculum equips learners, known as Defenders, with the skills and knowledge necessary to defend against today’s most advanced cyber threats.
“We are incredibly excited to partner with Cyberjutsu,” said Reggie Stevens, CEO of MAD20. “Their dedication to empowering women in cybersecurity aligns perfectly with our values. We hope that these licenses will not only enhance the skills of Cyberjutsu members but also open doors to new career opportunities and aid in career progression for women in the cybersecurity sector.”
Cyberjutsu, founded in 2012, is a nonprofit organization committed to advancing women in cybersecurity by providing hands-on training, mentorship, and networking opportunities. Their initiatives are designed to inspire and support women at all stages of their cybersecurity careers, from beginners to seasoned professionals.
“We are thrilled to announce this partnership with MAD20 to offer access to MITRE ATTACK training, which will significantly enhance our efforts to bridge the gap in the cybersecurity industry,” said Shavvon Cintron, Director of Women’s Education at Cyberjutsu. “This collaboration will empower more women and girls to gain vital knowledge and skills, fostering greater diversity and inclusion within the field.”
MAD20 spun out of MITRE Engenuity™ in 2023, has quickly become a trusted name in cybersecurity education. With a focus on delivering practical, real-world training on MITRE ATT&CK, 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.
