Cyber Training & Assessments

Universally, all employers face challenges in hiring and retaining talented cyber employees. In an evolving threat environment, there’s a constant need to stay up-to-date on the latest technology and to evolve cyber defense skills. From years of experience in cyber workforce development, CGA has become a premier industry leader in cyber training. We’ve developed an a la carte cyber approach that offers customers access to live instructors, customizable “training from anywhere” experiences, and best-in-class software to test skills. We’re proud to have developed and deployed curriculum for public and private sector clients, both in the U.S. and abroad.

 

In addition to training, CGA are experts in conducting comprehensive cyber assessments, with a methodology grounded in industry-developed standards (such as CIS 20 Critical Security Controls). Our assessments have delivered network mapping and analysis, incident response, mitigation services and comprehensive cyber strategies to a diverse set of clients including USAID, the Republic of Panama, and the local Cook County, Illinois government. We have also proudly partnered with national labs including Lawrence Livermore to develop new cyber assessment tools and technologies.

  • Capture the Packet (CTP).

This training capability is currently used by the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, and the Australian military as an efficient cyber training, skills assessment, and recruitment tool.

  • Elections & Cyber Training for DHS Officials. In tandem with world-renowned hackers at Nordic Innovation Labs, the CGA team created and delivered training to personnel at DHS, focusing on election security issues facing more than 8,000 election officials around the U.S. The work included designing a hybrid election security training exercise, which featured a platform to simulate an election management system (EMS) and election night reporting (ENR) system hack.

  • Cyber Assessments & Strategy for Panama’s Federal Government. in 2019, CGA worked with Panama’s Autoridad Nacional para la Innovación Gubernamental (AIG) to undertake a cyber assessment that involved interviewing IT and cyber leaders from 18 different government agencies, learning more about what protocols, configurations, and policies are in place across the Panamanian government – and how they might be strengthened or improved. From there, our team of experts used the comprehensive assessment to review and reauthor Panama’s National Cybersecurity & Critical Infrastructure Strategy. 

  • Government Executive Training. Through a partnership with the University of Chicago, CGA delivered groundbreaking Cyber and Governance training for the Government of Gujarat in India, training over 240 senior executives. This multi-faceted innovative training can be tailored for public or private sectors worldwide, in any setting.
