How to Hire, Train Up and Maintain an Elite Team of Cyber Defenders with Cloud Range

CyberMaxx wanted to increase its cyber defense preparedness, close the skills gap, and improve retention rates. 

The organization looked for a program that would quickly onboard new personnel, accelerate team members' experience, and provide insight into each person’s skill sets so any gaps could be filled.

All while building a collaborative, morale-building culture.

Spoiler: ✨ They found it! ✨

This case study details how CyberMaxx used Cloud Range to onboard, train, and retain its SOC and IR teams — and how that positively impacted multiple areas of the organization.

  • Expert instructors with the teams throughout their missions (No bots! No button-pushers!)

  • In-depth mission debriefs with actionable results and metrics (board-ready)

  • The ability to have groups of people and roles in the range at the same time

  • A learning path for each experience level and role
