Past Performance
The clear choice for government and military
“Develop, as part of the cyber training curriculum, a competitive hacking environment that includes the ability for participants to build novel working exploits and defend against them.”
In 2016, after a bid competition, the OASD for Readiness and Force Training Directorate awarded Aries Security a contract to adapt Capture The Packet as a DoD cyber defensive training platform.
The first system was delivered to the US Army (704th Military Intelligence Brigade, Fort Meade) in January 2017. Since then, our system has been deployed and is in use by the US Navy, US Air Force, Marine Corps Cyber Warfare Group (MCCYWG), and USCG. In 2019 we partnered with Metova/Bylight and were awarded the contract by the Air National Guard to build and install standalone CTP Training Systems at each of 18 ANG Cyber Operations Units in the United States. In addition to the US Department of Defense, CTP is also used by the Australian DoD and Department of Homeland Security.
In addition to providing cutting edge cyber training solutions, Aries Security has leveraged its many years of experience running cyber competitions at DEF CON, RSA, Cyber Gauntlet and Code Blue Japan and has won multiple contracts across the DoD. Since 2017, Aries Security has coordinated and managed numerous DoD related cyber competitions. Here are a few we are allowed to talk about:

The professional touch
We have pinpointed the three main areas organizations need help with the most in event setup, and have come up with a fast and easy system for capturing your requirements and executing on your vision:
Requirements
We plan the event with you, gathering information about what topics you want covered and which activities you plan on hosting. These discussions may extend to handling location, catering, merchandise and marketing as needed.
Setup
Once we have your key items, our staff starts working on content setup, procurement, and site design. We will stay in contact with you during this process to ensure everything meets your standards.
Execution
Now that the event details are finalized, our staff will be on-site to take care of things. We handle all activities, awards, catering and entertainment so you can be in the experience with your team rather than handling hosting duties.
