Demand for Cybersecurity Training ‘Exploding’

Elbit Systems subsidiary Cyberbit is demonstrating its RANGE cyber training solution at the Cybertech conference and exhibition in Tel Aviv this week.

Described as a, “hyper-realistic cybersecurity simulator,” the system enables organisations, service providers, armed and security forces and appropriate government bodies to establish and manage advanced cybersecurity training and simulation centres and offer highly effective training solutions to improve and accelerate skills development for cyber operators.

High quality training is emerging as a key cybersecurity need. Surveys indicate up to 73% of responsible managers see improved training and qualification as their most important goal over the next 12 months. The Cyberbit Range is currently the most widely deployed cybersecurity training and simulation platform, powering cybersecurity training centres on three continents, including the DigiSafe training centre in Singapore, the ETA Cyber Range in Baltimore and various organisations in Israel.

Adi Dar, CEO of Cyberbit, said: “The demand for cybersecurity training is exploding. Service providers who act fast at this opportunity can create a new local market within months. For organisations, training cybersecurity staff is no longer an option but a must, to retain their workforce, maintain staff skills and ensure a cyber resilient organisation.”
