Simulation-based cyber training leader brings Range-as-a-Service to the frontlines, enabling agencies and National Guard units to sharpen readiness and respond to threats.
NASHVILLE, Tenn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cloud Range, the leading provider of simulation-based cyberattack training, today announced its first-time sponsorship of AFCEA TechNet Augusta 2025, one of the premier events focused on military, government, industry, and academic cybersecurity collaboration. The sponsorship underscores Cloud Range’s growing commitment to supporting federal agencies, the Department of Defense (DoD), and state National Guard units in strengthening cyber defense capabilities through immersive, hands-on training.
Cloud Range’s Range-as-a-Service platform enables agencies to conduct live-fire cyber exercises in a secure, virtual environment—allowing teams to detect, respond, and mitigate threats in real time without risk to live networks. This model provides federal organizations with a scalable solution to continually upskill cyber teams and cultivate mission-ready talent.
Cloud Range has supported multiple federal and state-level initiatives, including the Nebraska National Guard’s Cyber Tatanka 2025 cyber readiness event, where participants engaged in advanced attack simulations replicating real-world adversaries.
“Federal agencies need training solutions that match the pace of evolving threats,” said Debbie Gordon, CEO and founder, Cloud Range. “We are continuing to invest in solutions for the federal space that make advanced cyber training accessible, repeatable, and measurable. Our Range-as-a-Service approach allows agencies to maintain operational excellence, even in times of budget constraint, by enabling ongoing, hands-on exercises that prepare cyber teams for any threat to our national security.”
Leaders in the Nebraska National Guard praised the impact of Cloud Range’s training environment on operational performance:
“The cyber defense training facilitated by the Cloud Range platform allowed our teams to sharpen detection and response skills in ways that directly translate to real-world missions,” said MAJ Mathew Field, G6/CIO, Nebraska National Guard. “Exercises like Cyber Tatanka ensure our cyber warriors are confident and ready for any adversary.”
