Abstract

In recent years, there has been a growing demand for cybersecurity experts, and, according to predictions, this demand will continue to increase. Cyber Ranges can fill this gap by combining hands-on experience with educational courses, and conducting cybersecurity competitions. In this paper, we conduct a systematic survey of ten Cyber Ranges that were developed in the last decade, with a structured interview. The purpose of the interview is to find details about essential components, and especially the tools used to design, create, implement and operate a Cyber Range platform, and to present the findings.

Highlights

  • IntroductionCyber attacks, especially those targeting systems that keep or process sensitive information, are becoming more sophisticated

  • The findings of the research will be a guide for the effort to design, develop and implementation of a Cyber Range platform for the University of West Attica (UNIWA)

  • But can be a guide for other cyber ranges that are under development

Summary

Introduction

Cyber attacks, especially those targeting systems that keep or process sensitive information, are becoming more sophisticated. Dividuals to react in different, unpredictable situations in a collective and collaborative way This environment should blend simulations and emulations of real components and systems, embedding different attack and defense mechanisms [9] and must be able to adapt to a variety of different incidents, in order to be cost-effective and attractive for organizations and educational institutes. We present the current state of the art on testbeds and cyber ranges that are used for training and research purposes. The aim of a modern cyber range should be to enhance courses with hands-on experience of participants It will enhance the research goals of the university through using a more complex and realistic environment than it currently has.
