Duration 5 Days – 40 hrs.

 

Overview

 

This 5-day intensive Cyber Range Platform Training Course is designed to equip participants with foundational cybersecurity knowledge and hands-on experience in simulated attack and defense environments. The program integrates theoretical concepts with guided cyber range exercises, enabling learners to understand how cyber threats emerge, how vulnerabilities are exploited, and how organizations respond to incidents.

 

Participants will explore essential cybersecurity domains such as threat landscapes, networking, web security, system exploitation, and security operations. Through structured labs and real-world simulation scenarios, the course provides both Red Team (offensive) and Blue Team (defensive) perspectives.

 

By the end of the training, participants will be able to apply practical cybersecurity skills in controlled environments, making it ideal for organizations aiming to strengthen internal security awareness and technical capabilities
