Cyber forces were brought together in Virginia Beach to develop, train and test their limits. Those involved had the opportunity to attend rigorous courses, conduct cyber exercises, and test their skills in this year\u2019s NetWars competition.<\/p>\n

Cyber Shield held training classes tailored to various skill sets, including Pen+, Security+, Linux+ and CISSP.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur overall goal for Cyber Shield is to train and learn on the cyber domain,\u201d said North Carolina Army National Guardsman Lt. Col. Brian Dodd, Cyber Shield\u2019s defensive cyber team chief. \u201cWe learn how to better respond to incidents in the cyber domain and how to better react to the problems that we see.\u201d<\/p>\n

This event was designed to increase participants\u2019 ability to infiltrate, defend and enhance the cybersecurity network for global defense measures.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe continue to see increased severity and increased frequency of cyber attacks regularly,\u201d Dodd said. \u201cThere are more threats than there have ever been in the cyber domain, so we need to come to an event like this and train together.\u201d<\/p>\n
