SOLUTIONS · ACADEMY / FORGE

Train your SOC against the same adversary engine defending it.

Forge, part of Predator Academy, is a live-fire cyber range powered by the same adversary simulation engine running in production — so your team practices against realistic attack behavior instead of scripted scenarios.

REALISM

Same engine, not a simulation of one

Exercises are generated from the same attack-path reasoning used in production red-teaming, not a canned tabletop walkthrough.

ROLE-SPECIFIC

Built for the job, not the title

Separate tracks for SOC analysts, incident responders, and engineering teams, each targeting the skills that role actually needs.

MEASUREMENT

Readiness, not renewal dates

Track team readiness over time instead of relying on annual certification renewal as a stand-in for actual skill.

The best time to find a gap in your team is before an attacker does.

PREDATOR ACADEMY / EXECUTIVE COURSE 06 / AI THREAT & INFERENCE WARFARE

Predator AI Threat, Surveillance & Inference Warfare

Master the dark side of AI. Govern it ethically. Defend against it tactically.
This is not an “AI basics” course. It is AI warfare, ethics, and governance for decision-makers.

AI has become the most powerful surveillance engine ever built.

Organizations are deploying AI systems that can infer identity, behavior, intent, risk, and even future actions — often without recognizing the ethical, legal, or operational consequences. This command-level program teaches leaders how to understand, govern, and defend against AI-driven threats.

Command AI before it commands your risk profile.

Build the governance fluency to deploy, question, and defend AI systems with authority — not guesswork.

DECISION-MAKERS / AI OWNERS
SECURITY

CISOs & CTOs

Technology executives accountable for how AI is deployed and defended across the enterprise.

PREDATOR ACADEMY / EXECUTIVE COURSE 07 / PRIVACY & ETHICS

Data Privacy, Surveillance & Ethical Technology for Modern Organizations

A Predator Defense Systems Executive Course for SMNEs, Enterprise Leaders, Vendors & Founders.
The digital world has changed. Your leadership must change with it.

Privacy is no longer a compliance checkbox.

It is a strategic capability. Every organization now collects, stores, infers from, and acts on personal data — but far fewer understand the legal, ethical, security, and operational consequences of those decisions. This executive program gives leaders the frameworks, governance models, and operational tools required to navigate the trade-offs between innovation, surveillance, personalization, and protection.

Turn privacy into a competitive advantage.

Build systems that strengthen trust, reduce exposure, and remain defensible as technology and regulation evolve.

Expanding regulatory pressure

Translate evolving privacy obligations into practical governance and operating controls.

Increasing surveillance capabilities

Assess what modern monitoring technology can do — and where responsible organizations should draw the line.

04 / AI

AI-driven inference engines

Recognize how systems can infer sensitive characteristics from seemingly ordinary data.

05 / VENDORS

Vendor ecosystems leaking data

Extend privacy accountability across suppliers, platforms, processors, and technology partners.
