RA'ANANA, Israel, April 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
A1, Austria's largest telco,
and Cyberbit Ltd., a world leading provider of cybersecurity
simulation and IT/OT detection and response platforms, announced
today the opening of A1 Cyber Range, a new
cybersecurity training center powered by Cyberbit Range technology
in Wiener Neustadt, Austria. A1
CEO and CTO Marcus Grausam and CFO
Sonja Wallner attended the opening
ceremony along with State Secretary Karoline Edtstadler and Mayor of Wr. Neustadt,
Klaus Schneeberger, on behalf of
provincial governor Johanna
Mikl-Leitner and other distinguished guests.
In its recently published 5 year national plan, the Austrian
government identified the cybersecurity skill gap as a problem that
must be addressed by developing a highly-skilled workforce. The new
A1 Cyber Range training center will deliver hyper-realistic
training to all levels of cybersecurity professionals, from
certifying entry level SOC analysts to advanced training of
experienced SOC managers and company executives.
"With its new A1 Cyber Range security training center in Wiener
Neustadt, A1 now offers the opportunity to identify threats early
on, to test protective and defensive mechanisms and to train
proficiency in defending against cybercrime attacks. This ensures
that IT specialists will be even better prepared for the future and
companies or institutions with a well-developed IT infrastructure
will be protected from online attacks. Professional training,
simulating and repelling such threat-scenarios is vitally important
for businesses and the operators of critical infrastructure so they
can increase their overall level of security," Marcus Grausam, A1 CEO and CTO describes the
operational scope of the A1 Cyber Range.
"We are proud to join forces with Austria's leading telecom and cybersecurity
provider to be a part of building up the nation's cybersecurity
workforce,' said Cyberbit CEO Adi
Dar. "Our team worked closely with A1 to deploy the
project in just three months. We are dedicated to continually
bringing the most advanced security technologies to defend against
growing cyber threats in the DACH region."
The Cyberbit Range technology can simulate a wide range of
network environments and attack scenarios, enabling the training
center to deliver customized training for security personnel in any
sector; commercial, government and industrial operational
technology (OT) networks used to run manufacturing plants and
critical infrastructure such as energy, water and
transportation.
As the most widely deployed cybersecurity training and
simulation platform for higher education, service providers,
governments and enterprises, Cyberbit Range has already been
selected by cyber training facilities in the US, Europe, Asia
and Australia, with new training
centers continuously launched around the globe.
