Ready5 Verified Practitioners have completed a 10-week hands-on program as an intern or volunteer working directly under supervision of a cyber expert mentor.

Practitioners complete an assessment following their 10-week program to verify their understanding of CRC’s process.

Organizations must complete a self-attestation to meeting Ready5 cybersecurity capabilities across the following areas: endpoint, identity, email, edge, and response.
