CRDF Global Supports Development of Milestone Cyber Range UA

A new Milestone in Ukraine’s Cybersecurity!

On August 23, 2024, the National Aviation University in Kyiv hosted the official presentation of Cyber Range UA, Ukraine’s first national cyber range, developed through the initiative of the National Cyber Security Coordination Center (NCSCC) under the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.

This cutting-edge platform is designed to empower Ukraine’s cyber specialists—spanning government agencies, critical infrastructure, the private sector, and the academic community—with the tools and environment needed to train and hone their skills in countering cyber threats.

Cyber Range UA allows dozens of specialists to engage in real-time, team-based training exercises, simulating realistic cyber-attack scenarios, including those that mirror the sophisticated APT attacks Ukraine has faced in recent years.

With 15 initial scenarios and more on the way, Cyber Range UA is a significant step forward in enhancing the capabilities of Ukraine’s cybersecurity ecosystem. By providing a collaborative training environment, this platform fosters skill development, innovation, and inter-sectoral cooperation, crucial for safeguarding Ukraine’s digital future.

This launch marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing efforts to build and sustain a resilient cybersecurity infrastructure in Ukraine.

The Cyber Range UA was developed with the support of CRDF Global and U.S. Department of State through the initiative of the National Cyber Security Coordination Center (NCSCC) under the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, in collaboration with the National Aviation University, and Cyber Unit Technologies as a developer.
