Combining resources to build an elite talent pool

We combine government protection standards, advanced offensive hacking methodologies, and national support to train specialists ready to repel real APT attacks.

TechOrda — National Support

The TechOrda government program provides quotas and targeted funding for specialist training, making the program accessible to the country's best candidates.

JSC GTS — State Standard

The State Technical Service is the official center of practical knowledge and expertise, establishing strict government standards for protecting critical infrastructure.

CyberLabs — Methodology

Astana Hub resident, developer of the Interactive Range simulation platform. Advanced cyber range technologies and up-to-date training methodology based on MITRE ATT&CK.

Program Exclusive

Combat Practice with AI and Anti-AI

Modern APT groups increasingly use generative AI for reconnaissance, phishing, exploit writing, and defense evasion. The program trains specialists to work on both sides of this technology — attacking and defending.

OFFENSIVE AI · ATTACK

Attacks Using AI

Students will learn in practice how modern adversaries use generative AI to accelerate and amplify their attacks.

ANTI-AI · DEFENSE

Countering AI Threats

In parallel, basic techniques for detecting and defending against attacks using artificial intelligence are practiced.

Why This Matters
AI-enhanced attacks are one of the fastest-growing threat vectors of 2025–2026. Understanding these techniques is essential for protecting critical infrastructure.
