Cloud Range Named to Fast Company’s Next Big Things in Tech List
Breakthrough Cyber Simulation Training Platform Reduces the Likelihood of a Costly Cyber Attack
Nashville, TN – November 17, 2022 — Cloud Range, the industry-leading cybersecurity simulation training solution that helps organizations reduce cyber risk, announced that it has been named to Fast Company’s Next Big Things in Tech list, honoring technology breakthroughs that promise to shape the future of industries — from agriculture and environment to productivity and artificial intelligence. Cloud Range is recognized in the Security and Privacy category for its advanced, hyper-realistic cyber range platform and training programs that enable security professionals to better fortify and defend organizations and work better together to prevent and respond to incidents.
“Cloud Range is honored to be included in this prestigious list of innovators and recognized for developing the world’s first full-service, cloud-based simulation solution that helps organizations minimize the likelihood of a costly cyberattack,” said Cloud Range CEO Debbie Gordon. “Cloud Range’s cyber readiness solutions are improving people’s lives every day and will continue to as cyber threats continue to increase. Cloud Range helps organizations reduce the chance of a cyber threat that could expose or hold ransom-sensitive information. Even more importantly, it also helps reduce the chance of a cyberattack on critical infrastructure, including power grids and water supplies, which could result in loss of life.”
Just like a flight simulator prepares pilots in a safe, realistic environment, Cloud Range’s breakthrough solution allows organizations to proactively prepare for inevitable cyberattacks and measurably reduce the likelihood of a breach. Cloud Range creates a simulated version of a company’s network in a completely contained virtual environment, then develops and launches real cyberattacks on it to test and train a company’s cyber defenders to detect and respond to those cyberattacks. Cloud Range has made its cyber range solutions accessible to companies without the need to invest in costly infrastructure or administration.
Cloud Range’s simulation training programs also include a comprehensive cybersecurity skill development program for people who need to hone specific skills with over 1,500 lab exercises accessible in Cloud Range’s Performance Portal. The Performance Portal is a management dashboard that allows security leaders and the C-Suite to have visibility into the cyber defense capabilities by the people in those roles. More importantly, it provides a prescriptive plan to ensure the knowledge and skills gap is closed, ultimately resulting in a battle-hardened organization.
“Technology breakthroughs and cutting-edge advancements promise to be the solution to some of the world’s most pressing issues. Fast Company is excited to highlight some of the organizations, of all sizes and industry backgrounds, whose technology advancements today will lead to a better tomorrow,” says Brendan Vaughan, editor-in-chief of Fast Company.
