Powered by the Cyberbit Range platform, new hyper-realistic
cyber range at the Cybersecurity Center of
the Americas addresses cybersecurity skills gap and equips
graduates, organizations and practitioners with the skills required
to combat today’s threats
Cyberbit Ltd., a world leading provider of cybersecurity
simulation and IT/OT detection and response platforms, and Miami
Dade College (MDC), today announced the opening of the MDC Cyber
Range training facility at the new state-of-the-art
Cybersecurity Center of the Americas at MDC. The only one
of its kind in the region and powered by the Cyberbit
Range platform, this cybersecurity training center will provide
hands-on cybersecurity training to students, organizations and
cybersecurity professionals, to fill the ever-increasing number of
open cybersecurity positions. The Cybersecurity Center of the
Americas will officially open at 11 a.m., ET on Wednesday,
Aug. 22, at MDC’s Wolfson Campus. MDC’s President Dr.
Eduardo J. Padrón, Adi Dar, CEO of Cyberbit and
others will deliver remarks.
"Companies always value graduates with work experience, but in
the world of cybersecurity its importance is tenfold," said
Antonio Delgado, Dean of Engineering, Technology and Design, at
Miami Dade College. "The Cyberbit Range is a cutting-edge
environment that will help students and professionals gain valuable
experience facing real-life cyberattacks."
Hands-on cyber range simulation is becoming the de-facto
approach for cyber training. Cyberbit pioneered this approach,
recently receiving a U.S. $30 million investment from Claridge
Israel to accommodate the rising demand for its Cyberbit Range
product. As the leading provider of cyber ranges, Cyberbit has led
the charge in partnering with innovative higher education
institutions to train skilled cyber experts. To-date, Cyberbit has
partnered with dozens of higher education institutions, enterprises
and service providers to open training facilities based on its
Cyberbit Range technology. These ranges, operating in the
U.S., Europe, Asia and Australia, provide
students, cybersecurity practitioners and organizations with the
cybersecurity training and resources they need to develop the
skills required to combat today’s threats.
Cybersecurity is one of the fastest growing new information
technology professions, with demand far outpacing supply. There are
currently more than 200,000 unfilled cybersecurity positions in the
U.S. alone, and that number is expected to continue to rise.
Recognizing this need, MDC partnered with Cyberbit to help
students, Florida-based organizations and cybersecurity
practitioners obtain the highest level of skills needed for careers
in cybersecurity. MDC’s new Cybersecurity Center of the Americas
offers the most advanced technology and will pave the way for a new
generation of cybersecurity experts. As the nation’s largest,
campus-based institution of higher education, the center features
the state-of-the-art MDC Cyber Range, the first of its kind in
the region.
"With over 12,000 unfilled cybersecurity jobs in Florida alone,
this new center will have a huge impact on both the cyber
resilience and economy of the region," said Adi Dar, CEO at
Cyberbit. “We are rapidly rolling out our hyper-realistic
cybersecurity training and simulation platform, which enables
trainees to experience true-to-life cyberattack scenarios and
practice responding to them, at institutions of higher education
across North America.”
The MDC Cyber Range will support MDC's important initiative to
grow cybersecurity competency in Florida and help fill
thousands of open cybersecurity positions in the region and
nationwide. The college will expand cyber education available to
students and prepare them for careers in one of the country's
fastest growing technical professions. In addition, the facility
will offer hands-on training, certification and assessment for
commercial and public-sector organizations in Florida.
