MELVILLE, N.Y. –
October 30, 2017– Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (Nasdaq: CMTL)
announced today that its Command & Control Technologies group, which is
part of Comtech’s Government Solutions segment, has launched its third
CYBRScore™ Skills Assessment work role using the knowledge, skills and
abilities defined in the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education
(NICE) Cybersecurity Workforce Framework (NCWF). In today’s rapidly
evolving cybersecurity threat environment, the awareness and knowledge
of employees is essential to protect critical enterprise infrastructure;
however, few organizations are able to quantitatively measure the skills
of their key personnel responsible for cybersecurity protection.
CYBRScore™, the new cyber skills assessment tool from Comtech, provides
quantitative metrics on cybersecurity job role skills.
The Cyber Defense Analyst role is available on a cloud-based platform as
a series of five 30-45 minute scenario-based exercises. Our patented
PerformanScore® technology measures more than 450 data points
to provide the most accurate evaluation of an individual’s capabilities
with respect to all 125 knowledge, skills, abilities and tasks defined
by the NCWF for the Cyber Defense Analyst work role.
“CYBRScore™ Skills Assessments provide a quantitative measurement of
performance, using practical, hands-on scenarios to evaluate job-role
competencies,” said Fred Kornberg, President and Chief Executive Officer
of Comtech Telecommunications Corp. “Our Skills Assessments provide
specific insights into strengths and weaknesses of an enterprise’s
Cybersecurity workforce and identify the highest impact training
investments.”
“The CYBRScore™ assessment details an overall score with individual
skills breakdown and provides training recommendations to improve the
skill areas that need augmentation,” Mr. Kornberg added. You can learn

services including off-the-shelf courses, course instruction, and state
