Overview

CMD+CTRL Security is a pioneer in software security training. As part of Security innovation for two decades, organizations have relied on CMD+CTRL Security’s training solutions to defend software applications and sensitive data from cyber threats.

The company’s training solutions combine 250+ interactive modules, 125+ scenario-based labs, and 11 hands-on cyber ranges that use insecure software environments to hone security skills.

More than 300 companies and over one million participants have enhanced their skills with CMD+CTRL Security from Global 100 software companies to mid-size tech companies, to financial services firms and retailers.

Realistic simulations are an increasingly important component of software security training, and CMD+CTRL Security’s training platform is unique in application security specific training. It is ideal for all skill levels and helps stakeholders across the SDLC experience the impact of poor design, coding, and configuration first-hand.

Traditional secure coding training only covers a small fraction of activities and roles. By focusing on individuals, organizations can upskill every role across the entire SDLC – not just those nearest to the code. Training solutions from CMD+CTRL Security help:

• Builders recognize how their mistakes are easily exploited, so they can incorporate security controls at each development phase.

• Operators maintain the availability of key services once software applications are deployed: configure servers, protect APIs, manage access, apply patches, and minimize information disclosure. Many challenges reinforce these key security principles that provide defense-in-depth.

• Defenders groom pen testers, red teamers, and vulnerability assessors with cyber ranges that progress in difficulty level. Easier ranges spot potential talent by gauging their understanding of the OWASP Top Ten. Advanced ranges feature complex environments that force experienced staff to make interlinking decisions.

How we are different

CMD+CTRL Security’s learning platform combines the latest threats, ultra-realistic learning environments, and customizable trainings and insights to help companies:


• Prepare for the Latest Threats – CMD+CTRL Security understands the reputation and customer trust of organizations are at risk every day. It takes a proactive approach to providing the latest security training by monitoring the threat landscape to deliver programs that arm teams against the latest attacks and vulnerabilities. The company continually monitors updates to OWASP guidance and introduces new curriculum and learning tools that align to industry standards to help customers stay ahead of emerging threats.


• Train Using in Real-World Scenarios – Unique in application security specific training, the company’s cloud-based cyber ranges feature pre-configured, real world environments representing web sites, cloud platforms, and complex mobile and Single-Page Applications (SPA) with rich API functionality. It is ideal for all skill levels and helps stakeholders across the SDLC experience the impact of poor design, coding, and configuration first-hand. In late 2024, CMD+CTRL Security announced its new Forescient cyber range. Designed specifically for Microsoft Azure users, it includes 30 distinct security challenges, and more than a dozen vulnerability types based on threats aligned with the MITRE ATT&CK® Framework. The Forescient cyber range is a dynamic training tool that challenges users to find and resolve development, configuration, and integration challenges across multiple servers, services, accounts, and a web interface.


• Assess and Measure Team Skills – Through knowledge exams and hands-on skills verification organizations can address skills gaps efficiently by analyzing the performance of users and customizing trainings to the skill level of each learner. This not only saves time and money, it increases employee satisfaction while helping the organization to keep up with evolving threats.
