AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Cyberbit,
whose cybersecurity solutions protect the world's most sensitive
systems, today announced the expansion of its Cyberbit Range
security training and simulation platform, offering dynamic,
hands-on training for IT security teams and business executives so
they can be operationally-ready for cyberattacks. The Cyberbit
Range lets enterprises, universities and governments address skill
shortage concerns and dramatically improves security team
responsiveness and effectiveness by providing the industry's most
engaging approach to cybertraining.
The upgraded version of the Cyber Range platform includes
dynamic range modeling that is highly customizable, so trainees can
practice in near real-life settings. Companies can now replicate
their own network setup, use their actual security tools and
simulate their typical network traffic so trainees can receive the
most effective and realistic training available. Additional new
features include virtual and physical SCADA training,
cross-functional executive training, and new attack scenarios
(including ransomware variants). The Cyberbit Range platform
leverages the expertise of the world's leading military simulation
systems provider Elbit Systems Ltd., Cyberbit's parent company.
As advanced threats evolve to outsmart even the most experienced
security teams, a company's approach to cybersecurity training has
to mirror the types of multidimensional attacks they are facing
today. Current offerings don't offer respite, as they are
traditionally based on theoretical training approaches and a
predefined set of tools. The Cyberbit Range changes this industry
method by giving business leaders and security analysts a
hyper-realistic virtual training environment complete with complex
incident simulation, a massive library of attack scenarios and
next-generation training tools.
"Security analysts are expected to both master and operate
dozens of new tools continually against threats they have never
seen, so organizations that put people first will succeed and
thrive in today's ever-evolving threat landscape," said
Adi Dar, CEO of Cyberbit. "By making
real-life simulated training more accessible, Cyberbit Range
ensures teams – from SOC staff to executives – are best equipped to
manage these targeted attacks."
"Every day, cyber criminals are developing new means of
infiltrating networks in government, in the private sector, and in
organizations across the globe," said Col. Ken McCreedy, USA (Ret.), senior director of cybersecurity
and aerospace for the Maryland Department of Commerce. "The flood
of new types of cyber threats has, in turn, created a tremendous
demand for cybersecurity professionals. Thanks to ETA's selection
of the Cyberbit Range for its new cybersecurity training center in
Baltimore, Marylanders will have
access to lifelike simulations and interactive training, ensuring a
new wave of cyber sleuths will be able to effectively strategize
and combat evolving cyber-attacks."
A complete organizational ecosystem that gives users real-world
simulations of threats and traffic on multiple network types,
Cyberbit Range provides individuals and teams the training to
assess and fine-tune their capabilities. This helps managers
enforce best practices and make smarter decisions based on network
activity. Together, security analysts and managers receive
practical training on how to collaborate and approach various
attack types.
New features include:
- Dynamic range – Provides the tools for companies to
replicate their network setup in a virtualized environment so
trainees can practice in realistic settings.
- Training for business executives – Expands training
outside the security operation to the business level, so security
and business teams can collaborate and flawlessly execute
organizational best practices.
- Custom scenario builders – Customers can create specific
attack scenarios based on their organizational needs, and
expand the extensive scenario library included with the Cyberbit
Range.
- SCADA training – Security staff tasked with protecting
critical infrastructure facilities can utilize actual SCADA
hardware and unique ICS/SCADA protocols to best simulate their
physical environment and improve team effectiveness during an
attack.
- Updated scenario package – the Range will include new
and updated attacks scenarios such as ransomware.
The new updates for the Cyberbit Range are available
immediately. For pricing and more details, please contact
