June 2017 by Marc Jacob
Cyberbit, whose cybersecurity solutions protect the world’s most sensitive networks, and Ni Cybersecurity, the Japanese cybersecurity service provider, have inaugurated today the new Cyber Range training facility in Toranomon, Tokyo. The training center will provide hands-on simulated training for cybersecurity professionals and help address the growing shortage in cybersecurity experts, especially in preparation for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic games, which are expected to bring with them a sharp rise in the intensity of cyber-attacks. Ni Cybersecurity has conducted preliminary training courses, after which 100% of surveyed trainees responded they would recommend the facility to their colleagues.
The ribbon cutting event was attended by her honorable Mr. Ruth Kahanoff, the 17th ambassador of Israel to Japan, Mrs. Seiko Noda, member of Japan’s House of Representatives and Dr. Hiroshi Ito, Deputy Director-General for Cybersecurity and Information Technology at METI (Ministry Of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan). The Cyber Range training and simulation center in Toranomon, Tokyo, is the first fruit of the recent Cybersecurity cooperation agreement signed by the Japanese and Israeli governments on May 3rd, 2017.
The training facility will be powered by the Cyberbit Range, the most widely deployed cybersecurity training and simulation platform. Cyberbit Range enables trainees to practice responding to attacks in real-life settings, including security tools, network architecture and traffic that reflect their actual work environment. The Cyberbit Range provides a rich and up-to-date catalog of simulated attack scenarios, including ransomware, enabling cybersecurity experts trainees to improve their skills and accelerating the onboarding process for new team members. The Cyberbit Range powers cybersecurity training centers in North America, Asia and Europe.
