Networking giant Cisco has started its Cyber Range Lab in Gurgaon recently. This lab aims to provide a highly specialized training center to help security staff build the skills to combat new age cyber threats.
The Cyber Range Lab will provide advanced training to enhance skill tests in addition to testing facilities, intelligence, analytics, and technology know how to customers and its users.
Dinesh Malkani, President, Cisco India, and SAARC said in an interview: “The lab in India underlines the company’s commitment to secure and partner with India and it’s digital transformation.”
This Cyber Range Lab will use 200-500 types of malware, ransomware and also 100 attack cases to provide realistic cyber attack experiences. This facility can be accessed from any corner of the world and will be acting as a living lab of technical knowledge for network security and how to manage cyber attacks.
Last year, Cisco has also launched its India’s Security and Trust Organisation which works with both customers of public as well as private sectors to analyze their infrastructure, understand cyber risks, assist in building networks and lastly identify and alleviate vulnerabilities.
This training will ultimately educate organizations about the necessary steps to be taken when a user becomes a victim of the cyber threat. They also monitor and analyze malware infections and provide actionable information and intelligence to customers.
Cisco has a similar organization in Poland, the US, and Japan.
