BALTIMORE, February 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Electronic Technology Associates (ETA) and Cyberbit Ltd.
("Cyberbit") have announced today that the Maryland Range
cybersecurity training and simulation center in Baltimore Maryland will open its doors on
April 10, 2017.
This announcement comes only five months after Bruce Spector, Founder and CEO of ETA;
Adi Dar, CEO of Cyberbit; Bash Kazi,
President and CEO of Kazi Investment Group LLC - joined by
Maryland Governor Larry Hogan and Barry
Bogage, Executive Director of the Maryland/Israel Development Center (MIDC) -
announced the initiative during the Governor's trade mission to
Israel in September 2016.
The Maryland Range is a live, standalone, hands-on cybersecurity
training center that will instruct cybersecurity professionals in
protecting national assets and infrastructure against cyberattacks.
It will be powered by Cyberbit's Range Platform, a cybersecurity
simulation and training environment that enables security teams to
train in realistic settings. Such training allows the teams to
respond faster and more effectively to complex and advanced
attacks, including ransomware and to perform better as a team.
"The support of MIDC and Cyberbit was essential in facilitating
this rapid launch process," said Bruce
Spector, ETA Founder and CEO. "I'm thrilled to help create
highly desired cybersecurity jobs in my hometown, starting this
April."
"The approach of realistic hands-on simulation is proving to be
the most effective way to train and certify cyber security
professionals," said Adi Dar,
Cyberbit's CEO. "I am proud to be part of this initiative and look
forward to the upcoming launch."
Centrally located in Baltimore
- close to the federal government's cyber-related activities in
Washington, D.C., at Fort Meade, Md., and at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md. - the Maryland
Range offers cybersecurity professionals the convenience of
training with the most current cyber warfare strategies, close to
home.
"Our strategic location, access to cutting-edge technology, and
talented workforce put Maryland in
a prime position to be the cyber capital of the nation," said
Governor Hogan. "The opening of the Maryland Range in April will
provide Marylanders seeking jobs in the cyber industry with access
to the latest training and career opportunities available."
"We're very pleased that the Maryland Range is about to open its
doors here in Maryland," said
Mike Gill, Secretary of the Maryland
Department of Commerce. "The training opportunities that the center
will make available to cyber warriors - coupled with the jobs it
will bring to Baltimore City this
year - make this announcement a win for the city and the
state."
"Maryland and Israel are dominant forces in the
cybersecurity industry," said MIDC's Bogage. "The Maryland/Israel Development Center is honored
to have participated in this process and looking forward to seeing
trainees using the new Maryland Range."
Cyberbit will demonstrate the Cyberbit Range Platform at the RSA
2017 conference, booth #S333, South Expo. To set up a demo, visit
