GoCyber Collective executive director John Seibel sat down with CyberproAI North America general manager Oron Mincha to talk about their growing partnership in cybersecurity and AI education.

• A capture-the-flag (CTF) competition running on Cympire, CyberproAI’s cyber range, giving students of all levels a safe, realistic way to experience cyber defense.
• The broader goal of helping people of all ages enter the technology ecosystem, not only “cyber” but also data and AI.
• The launch of Bina, an AI learning companion that brings together dozens of AI engines under one umbrella and teaches people how to use them safely and effectively in work and everyday life.
• A new Incident Response course that builds practical skills and awareness so organizations can react quickly and intelligently when cyber incidents occur.
• The wider catalog of GoCyber Collective and CyberproAI training programs that help strengthen cyber hygiene for students, businesses, municipalities and critical infrastructure organizations, many of which are eligible for reimbursement through programs like Ohio TechCred.

The following are some highlights from the conversation:
The “Pipeline to Pwn” training took place during Black Hat USA 2025 in Las Vegas, offering security professionals, DevSecOps engineers, and blue and red teamers an unparalleled opportunity to strengthen their skills and stay ahead of emerging threats.

1. Partnership and Purpose: Creating Real Impact

“I think the most important thing is to create impact – to help people understand the opportunity of learning cyber, learning technology, understanding technology.” – Oron Mincha

“We’re serving seniors, families, law enforcement, critical infrastructure and the next generation of cyber defenders – all through awareness, training and education.” – John Seibel‍

2. CTF on Cympire: Safe, Realistic Cyber Training

“Capture the flag is about how you think, how you react and how you operate as an individual or as a team. Once you enter the range, everyone is equal.” – Oron Mincha

“Cympire is kind of the Top Gun of cyber simulators – it gives a near real-life experience in a completely risk-free environment.” – Oron Mincha

3. Bina: Turning AI Into a Practical Everyday Tool

“Bina brings more than two dozen AI models together under one umbrella, with a learning path that guides you to the tool that fits you best.” – Oron Mincha

“My goal as a parent is not only to give my kids AI tools, but to make sure they use them properly – no AI bullying, no misuse – and Bina is built with that in mind.” – Oron Mincha

4. Incident Response: Training People to React Fast

“First you learn to ask: is this a malfunction or a cyber attack? Then you know your one, two, three – what you need to do first, who you call, how you respond.” – Oron Mincha

“The idea is to provide the awareness, the toolkits and the hands-on experience to react fast and not waste time when an incident happens.” – Oron Mincha

5. Building Defenders: Courses for Every Level

“All of these programs are focused from a defender’s perspective – how to maintain your cyber domain in the most secure way you can.” – Oron Mincha

“At the end of the day, the human factor comes first. People need to understand what they’re seeing on the screen and have the confidence to act.” – Oron Mincha
