The elite training your business leaders need to improve your readiness to effectively respond to a breach
When it comes to cyber threats, you can’t always predict when one will occur, but you can prepare. Responding to a cyber incident is a business-wide responsibility. Your entire organization should be prepared to react with speed, agility, common purpose and the right security services.
The IBM X-Force Cyber Range solution creates immersive simulations to guide your team through realistic breach scenarios, helping ensure you can respond and recover from enterprise-level cyber security incidents, manage vulnerabilities, and build a stronger security culture in your organization.
Since our launch in 2016, over 17,000 business leaders have gone through our immersive training, finding ideas of growth in their response plan within a safe environment, while using industry best practices and real-life data breaches.
The IBM X-Force Cyber Range (formerly known as IBM Security Command Centers) immerse organizations into real-world cyber simulations that help them assess their security posture and maturity for a full-business response. These gamified simulations address technical, leadership and communication skills for security teams, executives and the board, helping organizations to reduce cyber risk. Watch it in action in this short video.
At IBM Cyber Range facilities IBM Consulting maintains X-Force Cyber Range facilities in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Washington DC, Ottawa, Canada (in partnership with the University of Ottawa) and Bangalore, India.
