Highlights: What You Want to Know
- The CYBER.ORG Range celebrates its one-year anniversary! Made possible with initial funding from the state of Louisiana and expanded by CISA, the Range has been leveraged by over 2,000 teachers in high school classrooms and over 30,000 student accounts from all 50 states in just one year. CYBER.ORG Range differs from other industry ranges, as it makes learning cybersecurity easier for teachers and students alike who want to increase their confidence in cyber education and explore the field. The Range is also available for students who have had no prior knowledge in cybersecurity.

- Two courses were added to the Federal Virtual Training Environment (FedVTE), for the Cyber Defense Analyst and the Cyber Defense Infrastructure Support Specialist. Each new course is mapped to the NICE Framework, and each features guided labs from subject matter experts demonstrating the skills necessary to succeed in these two roles.

Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation
We offer instructor led, hands-on CDM Dashboard training for U.S. Executive Branch employees and contractors in our virtual cyber range training environment. These courses are intended for those at agencies participating in the CDM program who monitor, manage and/or oversee controls on their information systems (e.g., ISSOs, CDM POCs, ISSMs and those who report metrics and measures).
The CDM training goal is to provide the learner the basics of CDM and using the CDM Dashboard capabilities to help mitigate agency threats. We will also provide numerous CDM resources and external references.
All courses will be taught utilizing the latest version of the CDM Dashboard (ES-6.0.5) within a cyber virtual training range (CVLE). The course content has been updated and will focus on the current version ES-6 of the CDM Dashboard, including the latest dashboard content pack, version 6.0.5. The latest CDM Dashboard capabilities will be discussed, including FISMA Automation. The current CDM courses fall into the 100 level (Introductory) and 200 level (Intermediate) level offerings.

Industrial Control Systems (ICS)
We offer free, virtual ICS trainings geared toward Critical Infrastructure owners and operators. The trainings are designed to reduce cybersecurity risks to critical infrastructure and encourage cooperation between CISA and the private sector. Trainings vary in length and run from 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. MST (10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. EST). All trainings are conducted through Online Training or CISA Virtual Learning Portal (VLP), with the exception of the three- or four-day, in-person courses at Idaho National Labs (INL) in Idaho Falls, ID.
