Rangers lead the way!
Special Forces Mindset
in Cyber World
Recommended Articles
Ranger is a military-grade, stoic face-to-face acceleration, and certification program focusing on developing a technically hybrid skillset to stay technically functional, pushing the growth mindset to stay resilient under extreme pressure, and improving the primed mindset to always be ready-to-react through the interdisciplinary skill-acquiring methodology.
We bring the rigor and ethos of special forces into the cyber world with the Ranger acceleration program!
Ranger Program Coverage
Cyber incidents are like irregular warfare, filled with tactics similar to guerrilla warfare. As security frontliners, we’re getting ready for the unknown in an extremely dynamic environment. Dealing with uncertainty means we need to be flexible. From a technical standpoint, having a mix of attacking and defending strategies gives us this flexibility. When we understand both sides, we can see connections, make correlations, think outside the box, and solve more problems. Also, being mentally tough and able to adapt to the changes helps us be flexible from a broader view. This new approach to expertise is bringing a major change in how we develop the workforce.
At Cyber Struggle, we believe in “acquiring the know-why”, not just “learning the know-why”. There is a major difference between learning and acquiring. Acquiring has a direct relation with exposing things. Exposing the real problems will trigger functionality-focused skill acquisition.
From this perspective, instead of “learning the know-how by doing”, our motto is “acquiring the know-why by living”
That’s what I call an experience that you could gain one time only in your life. This is the real version of the movie THE GAME(1997), which grants you a profession as well. Cyber Struggle Ranger is not only a course or certification, but the best experience ever.
I could say that it was the most different period in my life. Staying on alert all the time, keeping watch at night from 3 to 5, starting to see your computer as your weapon, and being able to sleep everywhere but your bed. It is something that moves you away from your comfort zone. It is interesting however that you are happy with it somehow. And you start to be worried that you could lose what you have accomplished after training is over.
Education requires a lot of love and commitment. I congratulate the team and we would like you to know that it is our responsibility to provide any support we can give to such a great project. We were only thinking about the necessity of this approach, but they were the ones who had the guts to do it.
Attending this certification together with our teammates in the workplace has completely changed the ambiance in my company as well. Now we look after one another. I already missed CS family a lot. The atmosphere in the certification process, my friends, music…
Cyber Struggle certifications have been a great help in creating team spirit and goals by forming our team, technical, psychological, and cognitive preparation of cyber combat requirements.

Why we do
Field Exercises
We conduct field exercises with special forces to enhance crucial skills such as mental resilience, critical thinking, teamwork, leadership, initiative, and problem-solving. These exercises are designed to prepare you to perform at your best under any conditions, no matter how intense the pressure may be. While field exercises make up only 10% of our total BootCamp, the entire program is focused on developing these abilities together with technical skills.
Through these rigorous activities, we push participants to reach new levels of capability and readiness and this is part of our holistic “functional, resilient, primed” approach!

Examination Process
The value of something is related to the effort put into it. The Ranger program is currently the certification program that requires the most effort to obtain in the world. Since it is a relatively new certification, its recognition continues to grow day by day around the world. Despite this, many public institutions and private sector companies have started to include the Ranger certification in their tender specifications and job postings.
The enrollment package has only one exam voucher. However, you can purchase additional exam attempts later on in case you need.
We do! If you have “edu” mail, or you can claim you are a student, you can claim your 20% discount.
We do not like the terms “instructing” and “teaching”. However, every Ranger program has a program manager, supervisor, and instructors to manage the program as optimum as possible. Instructing in Cyber Struggle is not like someone joining the class and constantly speaking like old-school teaching. Instead, instructors and mentors are here for more coaching and observation. Also, for acting like a router in some cases. Your best weapon is your brain and your team!
The price can vary based-on the location and charter. Please decide your location to enroll, and directly track the announcements to have up-to-date price information
So much! During the program and during the exam. Please imagine that the reporting is your product. Just like it is in real life. You will write reports, debriefs, and notes for almost everything. Being accountable and understandable and having extreme ownership are highly important in the program
No! Basically, we believe in simulation not the industrial revolution-minded training. You will use S46 software where you manage all the processes. On S46, there is also a task management system. Just like real life and as if you are working in a company, you will get tasks. You are free to use any resource to finish the tasks on time. Like real-life! We will not provide any other useless PDFs!
Basic scripting capabilities, knowledge of common services, and basic Linux and Windows operating system experience, basic understanding of the web are required.
Definitely not! In fact, more than 50% attended from the private sector including banks, MSSPs, telecommunication companies, and more.
The Ranger program is a face-to-face program where you need to be in class depending on the selected option.
