NGS Cyber Range – Powered by Cisco
Today cybersecurity threats have become more complex, targeted, and persistent, they pose a very serious ongoing challenge to virtually every business. Sophisticated Security hardware and software products alone are insufficient to stop today’s advanced and persistent attacks.
Cyber Attacks can lead to highly adverse consequences, including revenue loss, diminishing brand value, and sometimes even an abrupt end to business as well.
Modern day cyber defences require highly proactive security operations including processes run by highly trained staff with the experience and expertise to detect and disrupt sophisticated threats. Highly trained staff with the right skills and experience are in high demand and short supply.

Covering The Entire Attack Continuum
Solution Highlights
Cyber Range is a platform in which participants posing as attackers and defenders can experience cybersecurity threats from the real world, but in a safe environment. In concept, it is very similar to a flight simulator, wherein pilots learn how to respond to complex situations in different flight scenarios without the risk to life and property. Cyber Range provides a similar environment for Cyber security staff and students aspiring to be.
