The Chiron Experience
Chiron's Cybersecurity Training methodology facilitates critical thinking by immersing students in live adversarial emulation scenarios which forces a student to perform, practice and develop skills for a specific job role. Chiron's team of subject matter experts have years of experience performing in the Domain Roles within Information Operations Teams. This allows Chiron's training to focus on the known skills needed by individuals or teams operating and defending key assets of an organization. Chiron's training portfolio is not centered on knowledge based multiple choice exams. We value and pride our success by developing students who can perform with skill on the job, not by measuring a student by how well they can define a term or recite a theory.

Cyber Core (CYB)
While Cyber Core is not a "domain", it is a critical component of the learning and development process of IO Professionals. Cyber Core is a base requirement needed to successfully operate within the specific domain areas of Cyber Protection, Threat Emulation, Discovery and Counter-Infiltration, or Developer. Core skills are being recognized as a major learning gap in the development of IO professionals when transitioning from other IT Functions or having knowledge competency without time on the keyboard. The core provides the critical technical skills foundation for any IO professional or aspiring technical administration professional since it focuses on "how things work" and starts the process of critical thinking from a technical point of view opposed to knowledge, policy and definition memorization.

Offensive Operations (CNE)
The mission of the Offensive Operations (CNE) is to emulate the adversary. The CNE performs its mission by coupling an in-depth understanding of the behaviors and techniques utilized by the threat in concert with advanced exploitation techniques to perform penetration tests. CNEs utilize the methodologies of the adversary to conduct Open Source Information Gathering (OSINT), scanning and enumeration, network mapping, exploitation to gain access to and remain persistent within networks. The goal of the CNE is to identify those areas of weakness within a network and provide those findings to the CND for mitigation.
