Join us for the opening of a cybersecurity training arena in NYC and see why NATO, Hitachi, and Microsoft train people and test their best defenses by going head-to-head against the best hackers.

The first U.S. World Cyber Warfare Arena is opening July 18 in Manhattan. As part of a global network of eight training facilities, CyberGym NYC offers a unique approach to government and private enterprises to test their people, processes and technologies, based on scenarios tailored to the specific threats facing their industry.

The evening will feature virtual arena tours, refreshments, and discussions with some of the veteran intelligence operators and elite hackers who together design CyberGym training programs based on their experience protecting some of the world’s most attacked organizations. The CyberGym curriculum trains and certifies employees in the latest techniques to identify, contain and mitigate cyber threats. More information can be found here.
