We are offering a Cyber Range Community—a unique, virtual environment that simulates real-world networks and cyberattacks. This allows users to practice responding to cyber challenges in a safe and legal setting. Additionally, our infrastructure is exposed to the internet, meaning you will encounter real attacks that you can actively defend against. By joining, you’ll gain access to a Skool community, multiple courses, and enterprise-level cybersecurity tools. These resources provide hands-on experience in a shared cloud environment alongside other students. The courses cover Cybersecurity Theory, Vulnerability Management (both theory and practical application), and Security Operations/Threat Hunting. There are also courses designed to help you build your resume, create a portfolio, practice interviewing, and search for jobs. Additionally, an optional internship component is available for those who wish to participate. The community operates on a monthly subscription model that you can cancel at any time. However, even after cancellation, you’ll retain permanent access to the Cyber Range Alumni Discord server. This Cyber Range Community offers a comprehensive, immersive experience to build your cybersecurity skills.

The price of the community varies depending on two main factors: the cost of the infrastructure it runs on and the level of demand, as there is a maximum capacity of 1,000 members at a time. We cover the licensing expenses for Tenable (the Vulnerability Management platform) and all the cloud resources used in Azure, including Virtual Machines and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.

In short, the price is variable, so the best way to get accurate information is to visit the community page: https://skool.com/cyber-range

All information is free, and it’s important to acknowledge that. However, when you join, here’s what you’re actually paying for:

– Access to a Cyber Range Environment that simulates a real work network, shared with other active users. The activity of these participants generates network traffic and logs that you can analyze.
– Access to enterprise-grade, licensed security tools, including Tenable Vulnerability Management, Microsoft Azure Compute, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, and an EDR solution.
– Membership in a professional cybersecurity community with over 1,000 members.
– Access to a range of individual courses (cybersecurity theory, vulnerability management, security operations, threat hunting, and more) that I have carefully organized and built over time.
– The rights to list my company on your resume for experience if you choose to participate in the internship program.

Yes, you can. This community is specifically designed to address the main challenges people face when trying to secure a job, such as gaining hands-on experience in a real-world environment and acquiring verifiable experience that can be added to your resume under a company name. This community builds upon a previous course and internship program that has already helped several individuals land jobs.

You can see a list of past interns who have moved on to IT and cybersecurity-related positions here. Every person on this list had Log(N) Pacific (my company) listed as prior experience before securing employment: https://joshmadakor.tech/alumni

You will be working with the following:

– Cloud Platforms: Microsoft Azure, where you will manage virtual machines, network configurations, and cloud-based resources.
– Vulnerability Management: Access to enterprise-level tools such as Tenable – Vulnerability Management for scanning, assessing, and managing vulnerabilities in both Windows and Linux environments.
– Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR): Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, which you will use for onboarding, isolating, and investigating virtual machines, as well as detecting remote code execution.
– SIEM and Logging Tools: Microsoft Sentinel for creating and visualizing SIEM dashboards, monitoring network activity, and managing logs to identify potential security incidents.
– Threat Hunting and Security Operations: You’ll engage in threat hunting using scenarios that mimic real-world challenges, such as identifying network slowdowns, detecting data exfiltration, and responding to zero-day threats.
– Compliance and Auditing: Tools and processes for running compliance audits (e.g., CIS and DISA STIG) and applying security guidelines using PowerShell scripts.
– Programming and Automation: GitHub for building your portfolio and working on vulnerability management and security operations projects, showcasing your hands-on skills.
– Monitoring and Forensics: Utilizing Azure Activity Logs, NSG logs, and KQL (Kusto Query Language) to analyze audit logs, network security group logs, and – Microsoft Defender for Endpoint logs.
– Resume and Career Preparation: Support in building a professional portfolio and resume, along with practical interviewing skills and job search techniques.
– Internship Component: Optional activities to gain direct, real-world experience under the company’s name, which can be listed on your resume.

This blend of technologies ensures you build a robust set of skills in cybersecurity, including proactive threat response, vulnerability management, and security operations.

Yes, the experience is recognized. On average, I provide about one reference per week for companies looking to hire interns. You can view a list of past interns who have successfully transitioned into IT and cybersecurity roles here. Every individual on this list included Log(N) Pacific (my company) as prior experience before securing their positions: [https://joshmadakor.tech/alumni](https://joshmadakor.tech/alumni)

I’m not—the internship is simply an optional component within the community. It initially developed as a response to the high volume of questions and engagement from students. Since then, I’ve enhanced the internship experience by incorporating additional ways for members to contribute and gain experience. For full details, please visit https://joshmadakor.tech/internship.

During the internship, you’ll have the option to engage in various activities, including:

– Designing, testing, and publishing Threat Hunting Scenarios for use by other community members.
– Creating, testing, and publishing Vulnerability Remediations and STIG (Security Technical Implementation Guide) Implementations, which are standardized configurations used to enhance the security of systems.
– Providing general support within the Skool Cyber Range Community.
– Offering assistance in the Cyber Range Alumni Discord.

Your role and title will evolve based on your level of contribution, ranging from Cybersecurity Support Technician to Engineering.

Yes, absolutely. There is an entire section dedicated to providing resources and advice to help you build a strong foundation in cybersecurity. While the learning curve for someone completely new can be steep, it’s definitely manageable. Additionally, if you’re just starting out in the field, it’s highly encouraged to apply for both general IT positions and cybersecurity roles to increase your experience and opportunities.

All original course members were notified via email at the launch of the program and given the opportunity to join at a discounted rate. Once you join at this price, your rate will be locked in. Additionally, all original course members were granted access to the Cyber Range Alumni Discord, regardless of whether they choose to join the new community.
