Yes, we're excited to announce that we now offer monthly pricing options for our Basic subscription tier! 

MAD20 living credentials are different from many other static credentials and are intentionally designed to reflect the continued proficiency of credential holders. They also align with the dynamic nature of the cyber threat landscape and ATT&CK framework, with frequent updates from MITRE throughout the year. As a result, maintaining an active subscription ensures the following: 

• Access to timely high-quality training content reviewed and approved by MITRE ATT&CK experts; 
• Experiential training environment designed to prepare cyber defenders with hands-on practice for many of the most advanced threats; and  
• Professionally curated updates, keeping certificate holders informed about significant changes and advancements in ATT&CK.  

Therefore, your MAD20 living credentials remain valid only with an active subscription or through enrollment in the MAD20 AMF Program. 

Failure to renew your subscription or opt into the AMF may result in your credentials being marked as expired on Credly. 

Yes, all monthly subscription plans are set to automatically renew. 

All MAD20 subscriptions automatically renew. To cancel your subscription, please reach out to us at support@mad20.io.

A badge represents a practitioner’s mastery of a particular set of MAD20™ knowledge and real-world skills as demonstrated through a passing score on the associated assessment. Every badge earned brings a practitioner closer to earning a certification. MAD20 certifications represent a practitioner’s mastery of a particular aptitude in the ATT&CK® Framework applications.

MAD20™ certifications bring a new approach to certifications in the cyber security industry. Certifications only require you to pass a series of assessments to earn current badges. Badges are pre-requisites for attaining your MAD20 certification. Upon successful completion of the requisite number of badges along your selected roadmap, you become eligible to earn your MAD20 certification. Your MAD20 certification is automatically awarded upon successful completion of the comprehensive examination.

To earn a badge, you must complete the training for that module and pass the associated module assessment. Each assessment contains questions that enable you to demonstrate mastery of the learning objectives associated with the respective badge. To pass, you must achieve a minimum score on the assessment (typically 80 percent). 
 
Upon submitting your answers to an assessment, your assessment will be graded and you will see a message indicating if you passed or not. If you pass, the badge will appear under the awards section of your profile. Please be aware that badges are exclusively displayed on the MAD20 learning platform and are not issued through Credly. 

Questions that are multi-selection often count for more than 1 point, depending on how many correct answer options there are. This is due to the increased difficulty in answering multi-select questions. Therefore, this is expected behavior – many assessments have more possible points to earn than questions for this reason.

Please note that it may take up to 24 hours for your badge or certification to appear in the MAD20 learning platform after passing the required assessment(s) and you may need to log out and log back in. 
 
Additionally, it may take up to 72 hours for your digital badge or certification to be awarded, providing you with the ability to share your achievement with others through Credly. 

Yes, trainings must be viewed to educate practitioners on the latest MITRE ATT&CK® Framework to become advantaged defenders. To confirm a thorough understanding of the material covered, MAD20 certification exam attempts require successful completion of badge assessments.  

You have ten (10) attempts for badge assessments. However, for certification exams, you're allotted three (3) attempts to pass successfully. If you don't pass within these three attempts, additional re-take attempts can be purchased through the catalog. Each bundle of three (3) re-take attempts is available for $50.

Going forward, the partnership will bring new hands-on assessments and credentials, offering MAD20 subscribers new ways to prove their mastery of ATT&CK-based Adversary Emulation and Threat Hunting concepts.

CYBER RANGES fully supports  MAD20™  across its entire cyber range architecture. Through its proprietary Injector Engine CYBER RANGES platform can automatically emulate the latest-intel attacks, APTs, and specific tactics and exploits from the MAD20™ Matrix™.

Additionally, MAD20 issues digital badges through our partnership with Credly, a leading provider of digital credentials for professional certifications, online courses, and association memberships.

The badges and certifications you have earned will appear in your account profile, under “Awards”.

If you have earned a certificate, you will also be receiving an email notification from Credly. Please, keep in mind that badges are exclusively displayed on the MAD20 learning platform while certifications are visible on both MAD20 learning platform and Credly.
