Brooklyn NY, Feb 11, 2020 – Today RangeForce, provider of the industry’s most comprehensive simulation-based cybersecurity skills training platform, announced that it will host a free blue team training exercise for NPower graduates. The event will take place on February 13 at NPower’s Brooklyn headquarters.
