Cyber Range & Digital Twin Platform

Prove the defence.

Test resilience before reality does.

Security teams need somewhere to fail safely.

RANGE creates controlled environments where organisations can reproduce networks, simulate attacks, train defenders, validate controls and test incident-response capability without placing production systems at risk.

Production is the wrong place to discover the defence does not work.

Policies, architecture diagrams and tabletop discussions can establish intent.

They do not fully reproduce the pressure, technical behaviour and uncertainty of an active attack.

Organisations need controlled environments where people, processes and technologies can be challenged without placing real operations at risk.

Can we withstand it?

Not simply:

Did the team complete the training?

but

  • Did the control stop the technique?
  • Did the SOC see the activity?
  • Did analysts understand what was happening?
  • Did the response process work under pressure?
  • What should be improved before a real incident?

Build. Simulate. Exercise. Measure. Improve.

01. Cyber Range Environments

Create somewhere failure is safe.

RANGE can support:

  • Virtual security labs
  • Enterprise network environments
  • Red team environments
  • Blue team environments
  • Purple team environments
  • SOC training environments
  • DFIR laboratories
  • Malware-analysis laboratories
  • Capture-the-Flag environments
  • Cloud security labs
  • Application-security labs
  • Identity attack labs

02. Digital Twins

Reproduce the environment that matters.

Digital twins can model selected aspects of real technology environments, including:

  • Enterprise networks
  • Cloud environments
  • Critical systems
  • Identity services
  • Applications and APIs
  • IT/OT environments
  • SCADA systems
  • Industrial networks
  • Security tooling and telemetry

The objective is not to clone every production detail. It is to reproduce the components, relationships and behaviours needed to test a defined question.

03. Attack Simulation

RANGE can support controlled activity such as:

  • Initial-access scenarios
  • Credential attacks
  • Privilege escalation
  • Lateral movement
  • Persistence
  • Command and control
  • Cloud compromise
  • Data-access scenarios
  • Malware behaviour
  • Insider scenarios
  • OT/ICS attack scenarios

Simulation must operate within defined safety, isolation and authorisation controls.

04. Red, Blue & Purple Teaming

Exercise the complete defensive loop.

RANGE can provide controlled environments for:

  • Red team rehearsals
  • Blue team training
  • Purple team validation
  • Adversary emulation
  • Detection testing
  • Threat-hunting exercises
  • Response coordination
  • After-action review

05. SOC Training

Security operations teams can practise:

  • alert triage
  • entity analysis
  • timeline reconstruction
  • threat hunting
  • intelligence use
  • escalation
  • containment decisions
  • case documentation
  • stakeholder communication

Scenarios can be designed around the tools, threats and operating model relevant to the team.

06. Incident Response & DFIR Exercises

RANGE can support exercises involving:

  • ransomware
  • business email compromise
  • endpoint compromise
  • cloud incidents
  • insider threats
  • malware analysis
  • evidence collection
  • forensic triage
  • incident scoping
  • recovery decisions

Exercises can test both technical work and the coordination needed around it.

07. IT/OT & Industrial Simulation

Test cyber-physical scenarios without risking physical operations.

Where technically appropriate, RANGE can model:

  • enterprise and industrial network boundaries
  • SCADA environments
  • industrial protocols
  • supervisory systems
  • engineering workstations
  • remote-access pathways
  • segmentation controls
  • monitoring and detection
  • operational-impact scenarios

OT and critical-infrastructure capability sits within relevant services and RANGE scenarios. It is not a separate seventh service or standalone industry page.

08. Security-Control Validation

RANGE can help determine whether controls:

  • prevent defined attack techniques
  • generate useful telemetry
  • create meaningful detections
  • support investigation
  • enable containment
  • behave as designed under realistic conditions

Potential validation areas include

  • EDR/XDR
  • SIEM
  • network controls
  • identity controls
  • cloud controls
  • segmentation
  • email security
  • security orchestration

09. Technology Evaluation

Test before production adoption.

Controlled environments can be used to evaluate:

  • security products
  • architecture options
  • integrations
  • configuration changes
  • detection content
  • deployment assumptions
  • performance under defined scenarios

10. Exercise Management

RANGE can support the exercise lifecycle:

  • objective definition
  • scenario development
  • environment preparation
  • participant management
  • event injection
  • exercise control
  • scoring
  • evidence capture
  • participant analytics
  • after-action review
  • improvement tracking

11. Scenario Development

Scenarios should reflect an objective rather than exist only for spectacle.

They may be informed by:

  • threat intelligence
  • recent incidents
  • relevant adversary techniques
  • business-critical systems
  • known control gaps
  • regulatory or readiness requirements
  • previous assessment findings

12. Measurement & After-Action Review

Exercises should produce evidence.

Potential measures include:

  • detection coverage
  • time to detection
  • time to investigation
  • escalation quality
  • containment decisions
  • missed telemetry
  • control effectiveness
  • participant actions
  • process gaps
  • improvement completion

The objective is not merely to score participants. It is to improve the defence.

Product Connections

RANGE + SCOPE

SCOPE can identify exposures and attack paths. RANGE can reproduce selected scenarios and test how controls and teams respond.

DiscoverReproduceTestImprove

RANGE + SIGNAL

RANGE generates controlled attack activity. SIGNAL can observe, correlate and investigate it.

AttackDetectMeasureImprove

Deployment & Isolation

RANGE architecture should reflect the scenario, data sensitivity and operational constraints.

Potential models may include:

  • SilverFox-managed environments
  • dedicated customer environments
  • private-cloud deployment
  • on-premise deployment where supported
  • isolated laboratory environments

Public claims about air-gapped operation, full production replication or specialised hardware integration should only be made where those capabilities have been implemented and validated.

Use Cases

Cyber Defence Training

Develop practical analyst skill in realistic environments.

Purple Team Exercises

Test attack techniques and improve detection collaboratively.

Incident Response Readiness

Exercise technical and organisational response before an incident.

Detection Validation

Determine whether relevant techniques create useful signals and alerts.

Digital Twin Testing

Reproduce selected systems and dependencies to answer a defined technical question.

OT/ICS Exercises

Should not be marketed as

Only a training portal or a collection of virtual machines.

Its identity is

Controlled cyber simulation and security validation.

It exists to answer

  • Can the defence withstand the scenario?
  • Will the team see and understand it?
  • What should improve before reality tests it?

Prove the defence.

Test resilience before reality does.

  • Train hard. Test safely. Learn before the incident.
  • The best place to fail is somewhere failure is safe.
  • Build the scenario. Test the defence. Measure the result.
  • Learn before the incident.

What should your team discover before a real attacker arrives?

Build a controlled environment around the systems, threats and decisions that matter.
