Cyberange is a leading provider of world-class cybersecurity simulations, leveraging both physical and virtual environments to deliver comprehensive training and awareness programs.
Cyberange Phygital Labs
Our innovative approach combines HO scale models with real-world IoT, OT, and IT systems to create realistic and impactful cybersecurity scenarios. Our mission is to enhance cybersecurity resilience across industries by providing immersive, hands-on training experiences.
According to the latest ISC2 Cybersecurity Workforce Study, there is a shortfall of approximately 4 million cybersecurity professionals worldwide.
The Critical Sectors are at an all time high risk
Despite having the information technology talent pool in the world, most countries are highly unlikely to produce an adequate number of professionals to close the cybersecurity skills gap. This scarcity exposes businesses and smart cities to cyberattacks and reduces their ability to quickly respond to complex threats.
A rapidly evolving digital landscape has created immense opportunities across critical sectors, including manufacturing, healthcare, and utilities, where Operational Technology (OT) systems form the backbone of industrial operations.
This technological evolution also brings significant cyber threats that can jeopardize industrial operations and national security. Current cyber security training programs lack the necessary OT environment simulations to equip the workforce with the skills required to thwart these threats.

Physical Cyber Range
Modular Design for Rapid Expansion
POI / Top Unit
This is a point of interest (POI) that sits on top of the main cabinet enclosure and consists of cause and effects.
Control Panel
This panel houses all interface elements like OT devices, switches, displays, or connectors.
Cabinet Enclosure
The main body, is the protective exterior that also provides structural integrity.
You can add as many modular units as needed to expand the Physical Lab with new scenarios.
Our Design Process
Design Build a physical miniature scale model City with critical sectors.
Connect real-world IOT and OT to the Physical scale model city (Every scenario has dedicated OT panels)
Create real-world enterprise infrastructure with AD, Windows, Firewalls, IDS, IPS etc and connect to Scale model city OT Operations
Program and integrate the OT and IT for causeand-effect, just like in real-world but at miniature scale level
Create HMI Dashboards and connect to Physical lab
Deploy actual vulnerable software or create mock-up replica of custom apps to simulate user-interface and action.
Write code for OT / IOT Operations, devices, sensors, components for mimicking realworld functions / scenarios.

Cause & Effect Examples
Benefits of the Physical Cyber Range
Enhanced Training
Cyber ranges can simulate a real-world cyber environment, which is perfect for hands-on training. Users can gain a practical understanding of potential threats, vulnerabilities, and attack vectors in a controlled setting.
Robust Testing & Validation
The cyber-physical range facilitates rigorous testing and validation of IoT and OT security solutions in a safe, controlled environment. This includes the opportunity to stress test systems and see how they perform under different types of attacks, and even under extreme conditions.
Incident Response Practice
A cyber range allows organizations to practice and refine their incident response procedures under realistic conditions. This includes improving communication, coordination, and execution of response plans, which could significantly reduce the time taken to respond to real cyber incidents.
Improved Risk Assessment
By simulating real-world attack scenarios, a cyber range can help organizations identify potential vulnerabilities and understand the risks associated with them. This can inform risk management strategies and help prioritize areas for improvement.
Cost-Effective Training & Testing
A cyber range enables organizations to train their personnel and test systems without the costs and risks associated with live operational environments.
Understanding Emerging Threats
As the range incorporates emerging technologies, it helps security professionals understand the new kinds of threats these technologies might bring, thus equipping them to proactively mitigate potential risks.
Innovation Encouragement
The cyber range provides a space for exploring and understanding the latest technological developments, spurring innovation in security practices and technologies.
Benchmarking and Performance Evaluation
Through structured exercises and scenarios, organizations can assess their cybersecurity readiness and measure their performance over time, providing a benchmark for continuous improvement.
Regulatory Compliance
Cyber ranges can be used to demonstrate compliance with various industry regulations and standards, showing that an organization is committed to maintaining robust cybersecurity practices
DFIR Capability Development
From a law enforcement perspective, a Physical Cyber Range can serve as an effective platform for developing and honing digital forensics skills and cybercrime investigation techniques.
