Duration 5 Days – 40 hrs.

 

Overview

 

The Cyber Range Platform Training Course is designed to enhance the technical competencies of intermediate to advanced cybersecurity personnel through immersive, hands-on simulation exercises in a controlled Cyber Range environment.

 

This program focuses on developing real-world skills in threat detection, analysis, and incident response, enabling participants to experience realistic cyberattack scenarios across enterprise infrastructures. Through guided labs and live simulations, participants will strengthen their ability to defend systems, investigate incidents, and respond effectively to evolving cyber threats.

 

The training culminates in a capstone Cyber Range exercise, where participants apply their knowledge in a full-scale attack simulation. Successful participants will be awarded a Certificate of Completion.
