2022: Introducing the cybersecurity training platform

On September 21, 2022, InnoSTage announced the release of a cybersecurity training platform. The platform is a virtual cyber polygone that simulates a typical enterprise infrastructure and deployed information protection tools such as Positive Technologies NAD, Positive Technologies SIEM, Positive Technologies AF, Positive Technologies Sandbox. At the same time, such a digital twin stores traces of hacker attacks, the scenarios and tactics of which are taken from real incidents, the number of which, starting in February 2022, has grown in multiples.

To counter computer attacks, in 2022 it is no longer enough to simply take a course, read a forum or find an answer in a book. These sources do not give the information security specialist real experience. We introduced a training platform for information security professionals. It allows you to conduct practical training to identify and counter modern computer attacks. More than 90 percent of all computer attacks that have occurred in the last six months have been simulated here - this is the substitution of information on sites, the introduction of ransomware and ransomware. It takes real experience to defend against these threats. And unfortunately, no one prepares for this, you can only get experience "in battle," and here we are ready to give it, noted Alexey Vorontsov, Director of the Department of Cyber ​ ​ Defense Services of Innostage Group of Companies.

Training takes the example of real chains of the most common attacks - the site's deface, the introduction of ransomware, espionage, and ON miners. The basis phishing is the current scenarios and tactics that, as of September 2022, are used by hackers to attack the Russian information systems.

The demand for practical experience is enormous. The focus on information security has shifted. If earlier companies followed "paper" security, trying to comply with the rules from the regulator, then in September 2022, businesses need practical cybersecurity to withstand the onslaught of hacker attacks. In fact, we are in a state of real cyber warfare. Every enterprise in our country is a legitimate goal for any hacker. The state takes measures - introduces personal responsibility for information security, negotiable fines for leaked coopersonal data, limits the use of foreign software. All this, coupled with sanctions, exacerbates a long-standing problem - a lack of personnel. We are ready to solve it with the help of a cybersecurity training platform, summed up Aydar Guzairov, CEO of Innostage Group of Companies.

In the future, Innostage plans to conduct such training on a regular basis, in full-time and remote format under the control of mentors - specialists of the company.
