for live-fire team training
Accelerate the IT/OT Convergence with Live-Fire Cyber Simulation
With increasing incidents on critical infrastructure, the need for proactive training and preparation is more important than ever.
Cloud Range has built an integrated operational technology (OT)/industrial control system (ICS)/Internet of Things (IoT) environment into the cyber range to train on OT and converged IT/OT scenarios.
With the ability to emulate both OT and IT networks, cybersecurity and incident response (IR) teams from both IT and OT disciplines can practice the detection, response, and remediation of attacks on critical infrastructure.
Cyber range simulation exercises with IT/OT attack scenarios are extremely effective in reducing risk.
9 out of 10 organizations have had their
production or energy supply impacted by cyberattacks in the last 12 months.
Cyber Range OT Security Simulation Training
Cloud Range understands that OT security requires different protocols, objectives, analysis, forensics, and other security methods than traditional IT security networks. Our team has the expertise and capabilities to help your OT security team quickly detect and respond to the various forms of cyberattacks and keep your systems – and people – safe.
Cloud Range for Critical Infrastructure mimics potential real-life cyber attacks that enable cyber defenders to see and understand an attack before it actually happens, preparing them to be ready to defend. The customizable OT environments include unlimited network scenarios. This allows us to create OT networks that simulate a variety of possible architectures and emulate different industries.
Attack scenarios are mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK Framework for Industrial Control Systems (ICS) so teams can understand the specific tactics taken by adversaries. The immersive, live-fire cyber range environment gives OT IR and ICS security teams the needed expertise, judgment, skills, and muscle memory required to be ready when a real attack occurs.
In addition to SCADA systems, workstations, software, and virtual replicas of industry-specific physical technologies, Cloud Range OT segments include network intrusion detection systems (IDS), human-machine interfaces (HMI), and programmable logic controllers (PLC). These can simulate a variety of operational technology environments, such as factories, power plants of differing types, manufacturing plants, hospitals, water or sewage treatment facilities, and more.
Cloud Range’s live-fire OT scenarios for teams and industrial control systems (ICS) cybersecurity approaches are specifically designed to safeguard critical operations without sacrificing efficiency, availability, integrity, or safety.
Because many OT incidents start with IT, it’s crucial for the two teams to collaborate and cross-train to improve incident detection and resolution. Cloud Range for Critical Infrastructure helps IT/OT incident responders gain the necessary skills, methodology, and experience to detect and remediate various types of OT incidents or cyberattacks.
Three-fourths of OT organizations reported at least one intrusion in the last year, and nearly one-third reported being victims of a ransomware attack.

Team Simulation Exercises
Cloud Range provides a suite of team-based, live-fire simulations — available as single missions or an ongoing program — for security and incident response (IR) teams, including:
All live-fire simulation exercises are eligible for Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits upon completion.
Cloud Range also offers simulation solutions for individual development and training, candidate assessments, and more.
Every one of Cloud Range’s exercises, labs, scenarios, assessments, scores, and more are accessed through the Performance Portal (LMS).
Work with Licensed Industrial Security Technologies
Cloud Range’s cyber range includes fully licensed, industry-leading cybersecurity technologies, including OT network visibility and monitoring systems like Nozomi, Dragos, Claroty, and others. That enables you to maximize your technology investment. Plus, by practicing in a true-to-life network with real tools, your people will improve their skills, teamwork, and response times.
Ready Your Team for Real-Life IT/OT Attacks
Cloud Range’s immersive cyber range environment gives your team the needed expertise, judgment skills, and muscle memory required to be ready when a real attack occurs. Security team members can encounter and collaboratively defend against a variety of IT/OT cyber-physical scenarios – all within Cloud Range’s hyper-realistic environment. That gives you confidence that systems and processes will maintain integrity and availability with minimal disruption, physical damage, or other negative impacts.

Practice in a Virtual Replica of Your IT/OT Network
Cloud Range’s industry-leading cyber range allows you to train and test your people, processes, and technologies in a safe, controlled environment. Your security team will practice in a virtual replica of your IT/OT enterprise network. When you train like you fight, your team will be more effective in quickly detecting and responding to actual incidents and breaches.
Measure Team Performance and Fill Gaps
Our FlexRange program enables teams to benefit from the experience and guidance of our Cyber Attackmasters. They allow team members to ask questions, and they evaluate both technical and soft skills, including knowledge, technical proficiency, collaboration, creativity, and judgment. Mission debriefs include metrics and analysis, two-way feedback, and recommended next steps. The results make it easy to track and improve performance and accomplishments.
