RangeForce has partnered with Atlanta-based Fortiphyd Logic to deliver practical and affordable hands-on Industrial Control Systems (ICS) training to utilities, oil and gas, and other critical infrastructure providers

Under the agreement, RangeForce, provider of cloud-based cybersecurity simulation and training platform, is offering Fortiphyd Logic’s Virtual ICS Training Environment through its partner network and plans to integrate Fortiphyd Logic’s training modules into RangeForce’s Cyber Skills Training Platform.

ICS networks are critical to infrastructure, making them high-value targets for nation-state cyberattacks. With a global shortage of cybersecurity professionals, ICS security expertise is in even shorter supply.

RangeForce President Gordon Lawson said, “Industrial control systems are increasingly vulnerable to attack, yet there is no safe environment where experts can train and see firsthand the consequences of attacks. The Fortiphyd team has created a highly specialised, industrial-control focused, 3D, and gamified simulated training environment that is outstanding in addressing this large and critical gap in the security skills market, all while following the same hands-on learning methodologies of our RangeForce Platform.”
