Cyber Range for Cyber Security Training

Picture2
1
At KINDI Center for Computing Research we have the only Cyber Range in the State of Qatar. The cyber range is a platform that provides a virtual environment for the simulation of ICT and/or OT environments to be used for a wide set of purposes. It provides a safe, legal environment to gain hands-on cyber skills and a secure environment for product development and security posture testing. We use the cyber range for a variety of cyber security research and training exercises. These include attack simulation, user activity simulation, and attack scenario development.
2
The scenarios developed in the cyber range can be customized to mimic the network configuration of an organization. This allows your team of security employees to practice how they can defend against possible attacks in the real network, without damaging anything. For example, they can evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of deploying certain countermeasures to defend against specific attacks simulated in the cyber range. Our cyber range has the capabilities to support cyber security training exercises in all the courses that we offer in our catalog.
3
The Cyber Range also allows the instructor to monitor the progress of trainees as they solve cyber security challenges through a scoring system. This has made our cyber range an indispensable tool in the Capture-the-Flag (CTF) competitions that we organize yearly. In summary, our cyber range is capable of supporting the following activities: security testing, security research, competence building, security education, development of cyber capabilities, development of cyber resilience, competence assessment, and cyber security competitions.
