Cyber-security training: A comparative analysis of cyber-ranges and emerging trends
Summary:
Cyber-attacks are becoming stealthier and more sophisticated can stem from various sources, using multiple vectors and taking different forms. The need for building and experimenting on advanced cyber-security mechanisms, as well as continuous training using state-of-the-art methodologies, techniques and up-to-date realistic scenarios is vital. Cyber Ranges can provide the environment where cyber-security experts and professionals can practice technical and soft skills and be trained on emulated large-scale complex networks in the way to respond to real-world cyber-attack scenarios. Furthermore, they can simulate an environment for information security professionals, to evaluate incident handling and response procedures and to test new technologies, in order to help prevent cyber-attacks. The main objective of this paper is to describe the functionalities of various Cyber Ranges and to highlight their key components and characteristics, to demonstrate a high-level architecture of a state-of-the-art Cyber Range while classifying the features of the reviewed Cyber Ranges according to the attributes of the proposed one.
