Cyber Range

The Cyber Range provides a controlled, interactive environment where up-and-coming cybersecurity professionals can learn how to detect and mitigate threats using the same types of equipment they can expect as they enter the workforce.

The Cyber Range is an advanced lab environment for hands-on, practical exercises that relate to cybersecurity incident detection, disaster response, penetration testing, and attack vector analysis. Additionally, the lab works in collaboration with the adjacent Extended Reality (XR) Research Lab and Networking Lab, as well as campus cybersecurity, data center, and information technology teams to provide comprehensive, consequence-driven engineering in curriculum and research.

The College of Aeronautics and Engineering is certified by the National Security Agency (NSA) as a designated National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense.
