The curriculum equips learners, known as Defenders, with the skills and knowledge necessary to defend against today's most advanced cyber threats.
"We are thrilled to join forces with ACT NOW Education," said Reggie Stevens, CEO of MAD20. "Their commitment to uplifting veterans and military spouses resonates deeply with our mission. We believe these training licenses will not only sharpen the skills of ACT NOW members but also unlock new career paths and support their professional growth within cybersecurity."

Their initiatives are designed to inspire and support individuals at all stages of their careers, from beginners to seasoned professionals.
"We are excited to unveil our partnership with MAD20, granting access to top-tier MITRE ATT&CK training," said a representative from ACT NOW Education. "This collaboration is a game-changer. By equipping more veterans and military spouses with critical knowledge and skills, we are paving the way for those who have served our country to be supported during their transition from the military."
MAD20, spun out of MITRE Engenuity™ in 2023, has quickly become a trusted name in cybersecurity education. With a focus on delivering practical, real-world training on MITRE ATT&CK, MAD20 prepares individuals and organizations to defend against the latest cyber threats. Their state-of-the-art training modules cover a wide range of topics, from basic cybersecurity principles to advanced threat detection and response techniques.
