TechNow develops Cyber Ranges and makes them available for conferences in support of annual meetings for Cyber Threat Response Teams. Developing scenarios and reacting to them appropriately is a big part of the value in understanding the contexts required to comprehend valuable CTI. As with many advanced TechNow security courses, there is a large hands-on ratio. This course helps Cyber Protection Teams (CPT), Defensive Cyber Operations (DCO), and Mission Defense Teams (MDT) to collect, analyze and apply targeted cyber intelligence to defensive operations in order to proactively act on and tune response to attacks by cyber adversaries. CPT, DCO, and MDT can take preemptive action by utilizing CTI, understanding CTI tools, techniques and procedures (TTPs) needed to generate and consume timely and relevant intelligence to improve resilience and prevention.
This course focuses on the collection, classification, and exploitation of knowledge about adversaries and their TTPs. . MDT puts us close the mission and helps define the internal context to be analyzed against the CTI. TechNow pushes the student to truly understand how to think about and use CTI to make a difference.

PenTest+ is an intermediate-level certification for cybersecurity professionals who are tasked with penetration testing to identify, exploit, report, and manage vulnerabilities on a network. PenTest+ is at the same certification level as CT-395: CySA+. Depending on your course of study, PenTest+ and CySA+ can be taken in any order, but typically follow the skills learned in CT-325: Security+. PenTest+ focuses on offense through penetration testing and vulnerability assessment while CySA+ focuses on defense through incident detection and response. The most qualified cybersecurity professionals have both offensive and defensive skills. Attend Tech Now training for hands-on, instructor led course to prepare you for the CompTIA PT0-002 exam. This exam is hands-on, performance-based questions and multiple choice, to ensure each candidate possesses the skills, knowledge, and ability to perform tasks on systems.
