Cloud Range, the industry’s leading cyber range-as-a-service solution to reduce exposure to cyber risk across the organization, announced it has received the platinum award for Best Cyber Defense Team Training in American Security Today’s 2023 ‘ASTORS’ Awards, the preeminent U.S. Homeland Security Awards Program. Cloud Range was recognized for its FlexRange™ Cyber Range and Simulation Platform.
Now in its eighth year, the ASTORS Award continues to recognize industry leaders of physical and border security, cybersecurity, emergency preparedness – management and response, law enforcement, and first responders, as well as federal, state, and municipal government agencies, in the acknowledgment of their outstanding efforts to Keep our Nation Secure.
“We are honored that American Security Today’s distinguished 2023 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Program has recognized our achievements in strengthening the cyber resilience of government and commercial organizations in today’s increasingly expanding threat landscape,” said Debbie Gordon, Cloud Range CEO. “It’s critical for cybersecurity teams to practice cyber defense and incident response safely, methodically, and proactively – with real attacks in a real-life environment. Cloud Range’s FlexRange simulates unlimited types of cyber attacks ensuring that commercial organizations and government agencies continually improve incident detection, response, and remediation while accelerating real-world experience, hardening environments, and safeguarding critical infrastructure.”
Cloud Range’s FlexRange Cyber Simulation Program is a full-service program of immersive, simulation-based attack scenarios for teams. Just as pilots must train in a flight simulator, with FlexRange, cyber defense teams work together during dynamic attack simulations on a network replica to improve detection, remediation, and incident response. The annual series of “missions,” or live-fire attack simulation scenarios, is for customers who want an ongoing and consistent program for their teams that ensures preparedness for the most complex cyber attacks. With a library of IT and OT attack scenarios and live instructors who provide counsel and evaluate performance, FlexRange enables teams to train under realistic, high-pressure scenarios to assess their capabilities in thwarting the latest cyber threats, facilitating the development and refreshment of security skills while accelerating experience.
“As the nation continues to respond to escalating threats from home and abroad, the innovative solutions being implemented to meet those threats has led to tremendous growth in the field of Homeland Security,” said Michael Madsen, co-founder and publisher of American Security Today.
“, the United States is increasingly focusing on protecting IT/cyber security networks and they are calling on innovative companies like Cloud Range to help them do so. ASTORS nominations are evaluated on their technical innovation, interoperability, specific impact within the category, overall impact to the industry, relatability to other industry technologies, and application feasibility outside of the industry,” according to Tammy Waitt, co-founder and editorial director of American Security Today.
