About Mile2
- FROM THE BEGINNING:
Born in the wake of the 9/11 tragedy, Mile2 emerged with a mission to strengthen the world’s cyber resilience through education, integrity, and innovation. From the beginning, Mile2 has led the way in developing exclusive, vendor-neutral cybersecurity certification programs that empower professionals to defend critical digital infrastructures with skill and confidence.
Through the Mile2 Assessment and Certification System (MACS), participants undertake rigorous, globally recognized examinations that explore both fundamental and advanced cybersecurity principles. Each program is a journey — guiding learners from foundational concepts to advanced, hands-on training in vital disciplines such as penetration testing, disaster recovery, incident handling, and network forensics.
Mile2’s global accreditations reflect a deep commitment to the highest standards of excellence and credibility, ensuring every certification stands as a trusted benchmark in the cybersecurity field.
The name “Mile2” carries a powerful story. In ancient Rome, soldiers could compel citizens to carry their burdens for one mile — an act of obligation. Yet, in the book of Matthew, Jesus redefined this principle by urging his followers to go beyond the required distance — to go the extra mile. This timeless message of generosity and dedication lies at the heart of Mile2’s identity.
To “go the extra mile” is to serve with purpose, exceed expectations, and uphold the highest ideals of professionalism. At Mile2, this philosophy drives everything we do — inspiring cybersecurity professionals worldwide to protect, innovate, and lead with excellence.
- AUTHORIZED TRAINING CENTERS:
With a presence spanning the globe, Mile2 collaborates with more than 200 trusted training partners — from private academies and universities to government agencies and professional institutes. This extensive network reflects Mile2’s mission to make world-class cybersecurity education accessible to all, empowering individuals and organizations everywhere to strengthen the digital frontier.
- COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE:
Excellence is at the core of Mile2’s mission, reflected in the prestigious accreditations and recognitions earned across the cybersecurity industry. Mile2’s programs are recognized by the National Security Agency’s CNSS 4011–4016 standards, the Department of Homeland Security’s NICCS Security Workforce Framework, and are approved by the FBI to meet official cybersecurity training requirements.
Further demonstrating its trusted reputation, Mile2 holds endorsements from California’s Cal OES, POST, and CSTI, underscoring its vital role in advancing cyber readiness within public safety and emergency management sectors.
Aligned with the NICE NIST/Homeland Security NICCS Cybersecurity Workforce Framework, Mile2 ensures its training remains relevant, rigorous, and responsive to the evolving needs of the cybersecurity profession. Recently, several Mile2 certification programs achieved ANAB ISO 17024 accreditation, marking a significant milestone that reaffirms the organization’s global commitment to quality, credibility, and continuous improvement.
Each accreditation serves as a testament to Mile2’s enduring dedication to setting — and exceeding — the highest standards in cybersecurity education.
