Spire Solutions introduces gamified ICS/SCADA training

Spire Solutions has signed a strategic partnership with ThreatGEN, founded in the US by world-renowned industrial cybersecurity experts to address customers’ challenges related to industrial cybersecurity capabilities and improve overall resiliency in the region.

This new cooperation brings the region’s first ICS/SCADA cyber security training to the Middle East, that leverages cutting-edge computer gaming and simulation technology. The first training will be conducted in Dubai from July 8th to 11th, 2019.

“The Middle East represents such an important economic region of the world, with energy organizations at the forefront. Protecting those organizations’ industrial control systems is paramount to safety and continued economic growth. We are extremely excited about the opportunity to work with Spire Solutions and to be a part of the mission to secure industrial control systems and train the workforce”, commented Clint Bodungen, Founder/President & CEO at ThreatGEN.

“Security awareness and training is the most fundamental component of an organization’s overall security posture and risk mitigation strategy. Learning cybersecurity from a hacker’s perspective is critical when it comes to understanding how attackers think. Based on computer gaming technology, our ICS Red Team/Blue Team Training course will provide local organizations’ teams with an opportunity to learn adversarial tactics in conjunction with defensive methods”, said Avinash Advani, CEO at Spire Solutions.
