The Cyber

Range

The Cyber Range is a hands-on, community-driven environment built for real-world IT and cybersecurity training. The platform lets students work together in the same network using real enterprise tools like Tenable for vulnerability management and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE) for threat hunting on Azure.

The range also offers guided labs, mentorship, resume and career support, plus internship tasks in vulnerability management and threat hunting that you can complete on your own to earn credit. With structure, accountability, and access to industry tools, the Cyber Range Community is designed to give you practical skills, confidence, and the support you need to get hired.

The Cyber Range is also designed to help students stay sharp during the transition from “student” to “professional”.

It’s common for skills and confidence to fade in the months after completing a program, especially while applying and interviewing.

Keeping your skills honed in a structured, hands-on environment with real tools, and real community, lets students reinforce what they’ve learned, maintain technical proficiency, and speak more confidently about their experience.
