Officials with the Institute for Cybersecurity at Regent University, an academic center and training facility dedicated to equipping the next generation of cybersecurity professionals in the industry, government, military and academia, announced today (Tuesday) that Regent is building a cyber range training facility.
The Regent Cyber Range will open in Q4 2017 and offer hands-on training programs where students will acquire skills needed for careers in cybersecurity. Regent’s Cyber Range will also perform as a training hub for enterprises, consultancies, government and military organizations, offering several certificate programs at all levels.
"A severe skill shortage exists in the workforce, while at the same time the threats to our country’s security grow ever more sophisticated," said Regent’s Chancellor and CEO, Dr. M.G. 'Pat' Robertson. "Regent’s new training center will address the nation’s need for thousands of additional cybersecurity experts to defend government and commercial networks from cyber attacks."
Regent will utilize the Cyberbit Range platform, which offers a realistic training experience where trainees are exposed to various attack scenarios and security breaches to improve their hands-on skills. According to Cyberbit, the range can simulate large-scale virtual networks and attacks based on real-world incidents, and can also pinpoint system vulnerabilities and help users develop countermeasures and improved protocols for dealing with cyber attacks on critical network systems. The platform offers numerous security tools and systems, including risk assessment tools, monitoring systems, security information and event management systems, forensic tools and supporting databases, as well as other network, security and cyber components, the company added.
"Regent will be among the first in Christian higher education, and one of the few colleges and universities nationwide, to offer hands-on cybersecurity training," said Dr. Gerson Moreno-Riaño, executive vice president for academic affairs. "This facility will allow Regent to offer complex, system-level training at the highest level, and graduates will emerge with hands-on testing and training that is unmatched in higher education. We’ve found the Cyberbit Range platform to deliver the highest level of training experience that will enable us to achieve our goals, coupled with the unparalleled support of the Cyberbit team."
"We are excited to partner with Regent University to build their new training facility based on the Cyberbit Range," said Adi Dar, CEO, of Cyberbit. "This training program firmly positions Regent as a leader in cybersecurity training in America today, not only for its students at the graduate and undergraduate levels, but also as a destination for businesses, government and military organizations."
