Cyber Range Guide
Master cybersecurity through hands-on training in simulated environments
What is a Cyber Range?
Cyber ranges serve as simulated environments specifically designed for the training, testing, and practice of cybersecurity professionals in responding to a diverse range of security scenarios, including the experimentation with the latest security attacks and threats.
These cyber ranges possess the remarkable capability to closely mimic your operational environment, offering a nearly authentic replication of your network. This includes cloud systems, applications, and services, encompassing even critical components like SCADA and Operational Technology.
