FAQPage Schema
How do I design a cyber range for complex enterprise environments?▼

Design a cyber range by adopting SEI/CERT methodology with zone-based architecture models covering Core, Blue, Red, Grey, White, Access, and Metrics zones to simulate complex enterprise environments for training.

What is a high-fidelity cyber range and how does it handle NPC traffic?▼

A high-fidelity cyber range is a training environment that enhances realism through NPC traffic generation and adversary emulation, ensuring effective simulation of real-world network behaviors and threats.

How do I build a cyber range that integrates ICS, SCADA, and OT systems?▼

Build an ICS/SCADA/OT cyber range by following implementation guidance for infrastructure deployment, ensuring proper network, identity, and service integration for operational technology simulations.

Can I use this methodology for cloud and zero-trust training environments?▼

Yes, this methodology supports cloud and zero-trust training environments by extending traditional SEI/CERT range designs with modern architecture components and AI-driven simulation capabilities.

What is the best way to calculate compute and storage requirements for a training range?▼

Calculate training range resources using built-in sizing calculators that estimate compute, storage, and network requirements based on the specific scale and fidelity of your simulation environment.

How do you plan and execute range resets during a cybersecurity exercise?▼

Plan range resets during cybersecurity exercises using execution planning modes that manage state restoration and environment fidelity assessment to ensure clean scenarios for participants.
