HAIFA, Israel, Nov. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Elbit Systems
Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: ESLT) ("Elbit Systems"), announced
today that its subsidiary, CYBERBIT Ltd. ("CYBERBIT"), was awarded
a contract to supply its CYBERBIT Range platform to the Cyber
Security Training Range (CSTR) of Maryland, LLC, the first hands-on
cyber-security training center for IT and SCADA security
professionals in the U.S.
CYBERBIT's training and simulation platform will serve as
the launching capability of the CSTR , instructing
cyber-security professionals how to protect national assets and
infrastructure against cyber attacks. The contract, in an amount
that is not material to Elbit Systems, will be performed during the
year 2017.
Leveraging the capabilities of the CYBERBIT Range, the CSTR of
Maryland provides a unique
approach to cyber-security training, enabling the entire security
and business team to practice the incident-response workflow in
hyper-realistic settings that mimic the trainee's actual work
environment. Thus, it allows teams to respond faster and more
effectively to complex and advanced attacks, such as ransomware,
and to perform better as a team. Centrally located in Baltimore, close to the federal government's
cyber-related activities, CSTR of Maryland will offer cyber-security
professionals in both private and public sectors the convenience of
training with the most current cyber warfare strategies.
Adi Dar, General Manager of
CYBERBIT said: "Public sector organizations manage highly sensitive
infrastructure and cannot afford to have the staff's first
encounter with a threat occur during attacks. By training and
simulating the response process in advance, security staff can
dramatically improve their performance. We are looking forward to
helping CSTR create top-notch security experts by means of the
Range platform."
