The Gap
Security teams train in isolation while adversaries iterate daily
Annual certifications and static courses leave teams with yesterday's knowledge against today's threats. Empower closes that gap with a living curriculum tied to real adversary activity — delivered every month, not once a year.
68%
of breaches exploit techniques that were already documented — teams just hadn't emulated them yet.
2.7×
faster mean time to detect for teams that regularly practice adversary emulation scenarios vs. those that don't.
94%
of security training is passive — lectures, videos, reading. Empower flips that ratio with active, hands-on emulation.
What Is Empower
Not a course. Not a conference. A continuous operations cadence.
Empower is SCYTHE's subscription service for practitioners who need to stay current with adversary behavior, not just understand it, but emulate it. Every month, subscribers receive live analyst access, purpose-built emulation plans, and direct input into SCYTHE's evolving threat library.
Intelligence-Led
Content is driven by current threat actor activity — not a fixed syllabus that was written last year.
Practitioner-Only
No vendor pitches. Every session is run by SCYTHE operators and red team researchers in the field.
Ready to Execute
Emulation plans ship as runnable SCYTHE campaigns — not documentation you have to interpret and translate yourself.
Bidirectional
Advanced subscribers shape SCYTHE's roadmap and contribute findings back to the community intelligence library.
What's Included
Everything in your subscription, every month.
Eight distinct program components, each designed for a specific function within your security operations. Standard tier includes four monthly deliverables. Advanced unlocks all eight.
Standard Tier — Every Month
Empower Webcast
Live deep-dive into a current threat actor's TTPs. Interactive Q&A with SCYTHE analysts. Recorded for async review.
Customer Emulation Plan
A ready-to-run SCYTHE campaign mapped to current adversary behavior. Validate your controls without waiting for an engagement.
IOC Testing Plan
Verify your technical controls against network and host indicators from active campaigns. Know before attackers test you.
Monthly Analyst Call
1:1 session to tailor emulation plans to your environment, current stack, and active detection priorities.
Advanced Tier — Additional Deliverables
Emergency Action Emulation Plan
Rapid-response plan built within 48 hours of a significant threat disclosure. Simulate the attack before your defenders face it live.
Custom Emulation Plan
Built around your industry, adversaries, and infrastructure. Not a template — a campaign designed for how your organization actually operates.
Emulation Review Meeting
Collaborate with SCYTHE researchers to evaluate results and directly influence future emulation content and platform features.
CISO / Exec Briefing Prep
Translate emulation results into board-ready metrics. Communicate cyber risk with clarity that earns budget and builds credibility.
Subscription Tiers
Start where you are. Scale as you grow.
Both tiers include the core Empower monthly cadence. Advanced subscribers unlock custom content, emergency response plans, and a direct line into SCYTHE's roadmap.

Who Uses Empower
Built for operators. Useful across the entire security org.
Whether you break things, detect them, coordinate both sides, or report on risk to the board — Empower delivers something specific to your role.
Red Teams
Fresh TTPs every month, ready to run. Spend less time building campaigns and more time breaking defenses. The Emergency Action plan means you're never caught flat-footed after a disclosure.
Blue Teams / SOC
Know what's coming before it arrives. Practice detection against real-world emulation plans built on current threats — not simulated noise that doesn't reflect actual adversary behavior.
Purple Teams
A continuous source of joint exercise material with realistic adversary scenarios and measurable outcomes. Stop running the same scenarios and start running what matters now.
CISOs & Executives
Board-ready briefing prep and risk metrics that translate technical emulation results into defensible investment decisions. Prove program value with data, not anecdotes.
How It Works
Three steps. Continuous improvement.
01
Subscribe & Onboard
Your first analyst call sets the baseline. Your current stack, active threats, and detection coverage gaps become the starting point for a cadence built around your organization — not a generic template.
02
Receive, Run & Measure
Monthly plans, IOC tests, and webcasts arrive on schedule. Execute them in your environment and measure detection performance against real adversary behavior — not synthetic test data.
03
Iterate & Influence
Review sessions turn your results into feedback. Advanced subscribers directly shape what SCYTHE builds next. Your environment — your adversaries — inform the platform roadmap.
