Dedicated Range: Customers can have their own dedicated range environment, providing flexibility and 24/7/365 access.
Reporting: The platform provides detailed reporting to track progress, measure skill improvement, and reduce operational risk.
Use Cases
Range365 serves various use cases, including training, sandboxing, live-fire attack scenarios, red team vs. blue team exercises, testing new products, tabletop exercises, and more.
Customization and Flexibility
Range365 is adaptable and can be customized to meet the needs of different organizations. It supports on-premise hardware connectivity, IPv6 networks, custom-built attack scenarios, and more. The discussion also included file transfers, cloud-native services attacks, and the OSI layers covered by the platform.
Benefits
Improved Cyber Readiness: Range365 can help organizations measurably prepare for cyberattacks and improve incident response by providing a safe and controlled environment for simulating real-world attacks. With a content library of live-fire attack scenarios, teams can develop and refine their skills, improving their ability to detect, respond to, and mitigate cyber threats effectively.
Expedited Testing and Compliance: Range365 accelerates new product testing and regulatory compliance by providing a safe environment to test and validate configurations, tools, and processes. It reduces the time and effort required for testing and ensures compliance with industry standards.
Increased Effectiveness of Cybersecurity Training: The platform allows cyber defense teams to practice defending against unlimited tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) in a controlled environment. The realistic and engaging platform helps cyber teams retain the information they learn and apply it in real-world situations.
Actionable Threat Intelligence: Range365 transforms threat intelligence into actionable insights by simulating real-world attack scenarios based on advanced persistent threats (APTs) and the MITRE ATT&CK framework. This enables organizations to practice responding to actual threats and reinforces threat intelligence utilization.
Optimized Budgets: Cloud Range offers an affordable annual licensing model for Range365, making it accessible to a wider range of organizations. The cost-effective nature of Range365 ensures that organizations can maximize their investments in cybersecurity training and testing without significant financial burden.
Reduced Technical Debt: By providing a controlled environment for testing and training, Range365 minimizes the risk of introducing vulnerabilities and technical debt into production systems. This leads to a more secure and resilient IT environment and reduces the costs associated with fixing vulnerabilities later in the lifecycle.
Flexible Use Cases: Range365 supports a variety of use cases, including product demos, malware engineering, sandboxing, live-fire attack scenarios, capture the flag exercises, and more. Its versatility allows organizations to tailor its use to their specific needs, whether for skill development, product evaluation, or incident response practice.
Cloud-Native Services and On-Premise Connectivity: Range365 is continuously evolving to include coverage of cloud-native services attacks and the ability to connect with on-premise hardware. This adaptability ensures that organizations can stay up-to-date with emerging threat landscapes and hybrid IT environments.
Comprehensive Reporting: The platform offers detailed reporting on team progress, skill improvement, and operational risk reduction. This data-driven approach allows organizations to measure the effectiveness of their training and make informed decisions for continuous improvement.
Expert Support and Guidance: Cloud Range's expertise and support, including the guidance of Attackmasters, ensure that organizations get the most out of Range365. The platform is designed to empower teams with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in cybersecurity defense.
