What is NACRA
NORTH AMERICAN CYBER RANGE ALLIANCE
Cyber ranges which join the North American Cyber Range Alliance (NACRA) affirm their commitment to taking an ethical, safe, collaborative, inclusive, respectful, and legal approach to cyber range operations.
The NACRA ethos is to create live-fire cybersecurity learning environments in which veterans of cybersecurity and aspiring learners of the discipline can collaborate.
Given the tremendous responsibility of those who possess cybersecurity skills, both NACRA range volunteers and visitors to NACRA ranges are expected to abide by ethical and professional standards similar to those required of any professional workplace.

What will you learn in this workshop
About this EVENT
What will I be doing?
Attendees will perform exploits on a vulnerable website using the OWASP program toolkit ZAP. You train to identity weaknesses and to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information from data tables connected to the website. You will see how the bad actors use these vulnerabilities for theft, destruction and ransome of systems. The ZAP collection of tools is part of 100’s of Kali Linux preinstall tools for assessment and attack within multiple web and network services. You will then create documentation of the vulnerabilities found and consider what steps you could take to prevent such damage from occuring.
Who is this Workshop for?
This Workshop is for anyone to gain new understanding and important hands-on cyber vulnerability assessment skills. Support is ready when you need it through onscreen guides to explain how to use the tools and provide hints or even tell you what to do next to “keep progressing and learning”.
Advanced cyber operatives will find the workshop a valuable review and refresher to hone current skills and develop a few new skills.
How do I access the Workshop Cyber Range?
Each participant is provided 30-day access to our Web App Secure Assessment Exercise on the Cogent Cyber Range training platform. No credit card or obligation by registering to participate.
ABL Cogent Range Skills for Cyber and OT ICS Careers
JOBS in Cyber OT Operational Technology requires skills to protect energy, water, transportation, pharma = saving lives

Practice = Awareness and Confidence to Act
Cogent Range Cyber; compelling ICS OT IT
Hands-on training = repeatable Skills – Job role ready = Cogent Cyber training + Education
Training and Education are two distinctly different activities and high proficiency in IT OT Cyber tasks must include engaging hands-on skills development using clear, compelling and local tasks related to specific job roles. The combination of ICS OT Cyber task practice, creates the identifiable skill.
The Cogent OT Cyber Range platform maps these tasks into objectives based on the NIST NICE Skills Mapping Tool, allowing for the development of real-world experience through intensive industry specific training exercises, where students learn by doing.
