More than any other constraint, the availability of specialist resources determines the success and sustainability of all cybersecurity interventions. Studebaker Cyber team members are extensively involved in the development of academic curricula and centres of cyber-excellence. Our ongoing contact with battle-tested operational experts also enable us to identify the best people for specific tasks. Our team members who work in various parts of the world to secure critical national infrastructure have developed security teams that include local resources who previously had little or no exposure to the cybersecurity environment. These interventions go well beyond technical know-how and include talent discovery and development, recruitment, career-planning, specialization, deployment, retention, and the development of customer-based centers of excellence.

Tangible deliverables that could flow from our Studebaker Cyber Team Development Competency include:

• A documented people plan with corresponding roles, responsibilities, competencies and capacity requirements.
• A program comprising customer-based centers of excellence that focus on individual and team development in association with various international centers of excellence.
• The Studebaker Cyber training competency is designed to fast-track the training of security specialists from novice to senior analyst using immersive simulation-based training.
• Certification training and formal academic development of cyber leadership candidates.
