Blue Teams and Live-Fire Simulation Training
Blue team security training exercises are typically part of a FlexRange program, which is a planned series of attack simulations – or missions – in Cloud Range’s virtual, realistic environment. The enjoyable live-fire simulations are tailored to the experience levels and objectives of your team to ensure measurable, continuous growth and improvement while encouraging critical thinking and teamwork.
Similar to an escape room, the blue team doesn’t know what it’s looking for when the scenario starts. Team members can use our commercially licensed, market-leading security products and open-sourced tools within the controlled IT, OT, and cloud environments to investigate and work through real-world exercises.
Also like an escape room, the live-fire simulations are led by expert instructors who counsel and give tips to the blue team to ensure they are learning and will successfully accomplish their tasks.
No One Does Instructor-Led Blue Team Training Like Cloud Range
Each ultra-realistic mission on our cyber range is overseen by our experienced security experts, ensuring team members can ask questions and receive the guidance needed to successfully detect, investigate, respond to and remediate the live, simulated attacks.
Our experts guide the team to work together to improve their technical abilities and judgment, as well as their communication and collaboration.
Instructors evaluate teams and individuals on technical and soft skills. The metrics are used to prescribe a continuous action plan for security teams that yields measurable results and demonstrates improvement over time.
Train Using Industry-Leading Security Products
Cloud Range’s library of attack simulations provides teams of cyber professionals with the ability to detect and respond to live attacks, just as they would in a real, production environment.
Licensed tools — including SIEMs, firewalls, IDS’s, endpoint security systems, and analysis tools — allow your trainees to practice using the same products they will use in real-life scenarios. Optional customization allows additional tools to be integrated into your environment to further mimic your security toolset.
Integrated Performance Portal
The Cloud Range training platform includes a standards-based Performance Portal that objectively captures each blue team member’s knowledge, skills, and abilities, resulting in robust reporting capabilities that map to the NIST/NICE (National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education) Workforce Framework for Cybersecurity. The Performance Portal tracks progress toward completing learning plans aligned to the NICE Framework KSAs.
In addition to blue team exercises, Cloud Range offers red vs. blue exercises, purple team exercises, and more.
Blue Team Cybersecurity FAQs
What is a blue team in cybersecurity?
Blue teams are defenders, including SOC analysts, incident responders, and digital forensics experts, who protect your organization from cyber threats.
What are blue team exercises?
Cloud Range’s blue team simulations allow security teams to work together – multiple people and different roles at one time – in a realistic and safe cyber range environment. The exercises are designed to improve the blue team’s ability to detect, respond to, and remediate cyber attacks.
Who benefits from blue team training?
Security operations teams, incident response groups, and forensics specialists gain essential skills and measurable improvements. This training benefits the entire organization by ensuring a prepared, experienced team ready to respond to threats, ultimately lowering exposure to cyber risk.
What are blue team simulation exercises like?
The exercises simulate real-life cyber attacks, including ransomware, insider threats, and various other advanced persistent threats (APTs). Blue teamers will engage in one or more simulations, or “missions.” They will not know the attack scenario going in, so they will have to work things out - similar to an escape room. To determine the exercise, Cloud Range experts analyze the types of attacks that are happening a lot in specific industries, as well as what attacks will help teams meet their goals and bridge any gaps. We work with the security leader to define the plan and prescribe the next steps.
How often should my team participate?
Monthly sessions are common, but we’ll adapt to the frequency that works best for your organization.
How are the exercises planned and executed?
Most security leaders do not have time to schedule the exercises and coordinate schedules. Cloud Range helps with all of that. We take on the administration and coordination and provide an engaging, educational experience.
What outcomes can I expect?
Reduced response times, improved collaboration, and enhanced readiness for real-world attacks.
Hone Specific Skills
In addition to our cyber simulation programs for teams, Cloud Range offers hundreds of FlexLabs that energize your team member’s individual development with hands-on cybersecurity skills training in our interactive, emulated environment.
