Curriculum Development and Training

Under contract to Skyline Advanced Technology Services, Advetco subject matter experts developed a comprehensive Threat Analysis Framework Training for Cisco Systems. The new curriculum focused on the big picture of how ransomware was evolving and impacting the use of technology, and directly effecting reliability and continuity of operations, throughout government and commercial industries. The Advetco training system aggregated real world experience that and knowledge on the anatomy of cyberattacks. This system has been presented to Cisco internal engineers (2000+) worldwide (in 40 cities, across 22 countries, in 17 languages) as part of a “Ransomware Defense Roadshow.” Advetco trainers and cyber security SME’s also used it to evaluate DARPA’s defense posture. The framework seeks to create actionable information by analyzing three components of a cyber-threat: the attacker, the payload, and the infrastructure, using statistical models to identify the connections used to route the threat to vulnerable systems.
