Cyber Range Exercises

Third-party risk. The demise of the firm perimeter with remote work. Innovations in malware and ransomware. Nation-state actors using cyber attacks as back doors for surveillance.

As new cyber challenges emerge, it is critical for security teams to get hands-on practice detecting, investigating, and responding to incidents. Our cyber range program, powered by the Cyberbit Skills Development Platform, helps our members around the world get real-world experience in responding to new cyber threats while benefiting from the knowledge of industry peers in a secure and trusted environment.

Each full-day workshop includes cyber labs to help build fundamental skills connected to the daily theme as well as a cyber range exercise, where you will respond to an end-to-end simulated attack as a team.

Exercises are structured to provide participants with:

• Commercially licensed defensive tools for attack analysis
• Individual defense techniques to defend your network
• A unique opportunity to experience an end-to-end incident, in a realistic, simulated environment

Technical experience is recommended. These are technical exercises designed for network defenders.
