Technology Advancement Center Launches TAC Training Hub to Advance Cyber and Operational Technology Skills
As cyber-attacks continue to escalate, there's a critical need to strengthen defenses across IT and OT environments. TAC Training Hub's immersive training prepares the workforce to defend the systems our nation depends on.
COLUMBIA, MARYLAND / ACCESS Newswire / July 16, 2025 / The Technology Advancement Center today announced the launch of TAC Training Hub, a major expansion of its cybersecurity and operational technology training programs. The Hub combines sophisticated Cyber Ranges, advanced OT curriculum, and proprietary training methodologies to deliver an unparalleled learning experience.
Built as an immersive HO-scale model city across 12 custom-built platforms, TechValley brings critical infrastructure to life - equipping cyber teams with the skills to identify, attack and defend the systems that power our world.
Located near leading defense facilities, TAC Training Hub offers more than seven Cyber Ranges and a highly technical classroom environment. Participants engage in realistic, scenario-driven exercises that replicate complex threat landscapes across converged IT/OT environments.
As state-sponsored cyber-attacks continue to escalate, there's a critical need to strengthen defenses across IT and OT environments. Most cybersecurity teams are trained in IT but lack experience securing operational technology. TAC Training Hub fills that gap through immersive training that prepares the workforce to defend the systems our nation depends on.
Graduates of the program earn a TAC OT Certification, recognizing their expertise in operational technology and cyber defense. Certification advantages include enterprise operational readiness and professional advancement in a burgeoning, nascent industry.
