In today’s ever-evolving cyber threat landscape, businesses must be prepared to face real-world cyberattacks before they happen. Twotrees Technologies is proud to offer its clients an exclusive opportunity to train at the Cyber Warfare Range in Phoenix, Arizona—an advanced training environment where participants can experience real cyber threats, learn how attackers operate, and fine-tune their defense strategies.
Recently, James Pratt of Twotrees Technologies visited the Cyber Warfare Range to explore how it can benefit businesses looking to enhance their cybersecurity posture. During the visit, James spoke with Richard, an expert at the range, who provided insights into how the facility operates and what attendees can expect.
Not a Simulation—The Real Deal
Unlike traditional cybersecurity training programs, the Cyber Warfare Range does not rely on simulations. Instead, participants engage with real malware, ransomware, and cyber threats in a controlled environment. This hands-on approach allows IT professionals to experience and respond to attacks just as they would in a real-world scenario.
Richard explains, “We play with the real malware, the real ransomware. We bring systems to their knees and then restore them back. This way, we can understand what we’re dealing with and be prepared when the stakes are real.”
Know Your Enemy, Strengthen Your Defenses
One of the key takeaways from the Cyber Warfare Range experience is understanding the tactics cybercriminals use. Many people assume cyber threats come from sophisticated nation-state actors, but in reality, freely available tools on the internet allow even an amateur hacker to launch an attack.
“In a matter of minutes, I can turn any one of the computers in here into a hacking system that I can use to go after anything,” Richard explains. The goal of this training is to show how easy it is for attackers to gain access to critical systems—and, more importantly, how businesses can defend against them.
Test Your Cyber Response in a Safe Environment
Cybersecurity is not just about prevention; it’s also about response. Many organizations believe they have solid cybersecurity measures in place, but until they are put to the test, there’s no way to be sure. The Cyber Warfare Range provides a unique opportunity for companies to stress-test their cyber response protocols and refine their incident management strategies.
Richard describes the experience as “having a sparring match before you actually get in the boxing ring.” By participating in this type of training, businesses can identify weaknesses, improve their response times, and ensure they are better prepared for real threats.
Flexible Training Options—On-Site or Remote
For companies that prefer to train their teams on-site, the Cyber Warfare Range offers a mobile lab that can be deployed anywhere within the contiguous United States. Whether you choose to visit the range in Phoenix or bring the training to your location, Twotrees Technologies can facilitate the experience and tailor it to your organization’s specific needs.
Secure Your Business with Twotrees Technologies
Cyber threats are constantly evolving, and businesses that fail to prepare risk devastating consequences. Studies show that 60% of businesses close within six months of a major cybersecurity breach. Don’t let your company become another statistic.
