Hones soft skills, tests playbooks and lets SOC teams experience how real adversaries behave in a platform stacked with high context cloud exercises.
About RangeForce
Built to host what NATO now calls ‘the most complex live-fire cyber resilience exercise in the world,’ the RangeForce platform successfully delivered the first ever Locked Shields exercise.
Witnessing the benefits of exercising first-hand, we embarked on a mission: to bring more realistic team training, to more people.
This was no easy journey. Simulating a compromised environment is infinitely complex. IP addresses rotate. Application traffic flows. Lateral movement occurs. All of which requires complex engineering and infrastructure, at scale. It was possible but, until recently, complex and expensive.
However, thanks to the leaps we have made in automation and cloud computing, RangeForce delivered mass market team exercising, integrated it with solo technical labs, skills pathways and readiness mapping, to create the most complete skills platform on the market.
The 2025 acquisition by Cyberbit & future mission
In September 2025, RangeForce was acquired by Cyberbit, marking a major step forward in the evolution of cybersecurity readiness.
The acquisition united two companies with a shared vision for delivering universal cybersecurity readiness and helping organizations of any size and maturity achieve more accurate, confident, incident response with an unified platform.
Delivers easy to run cycles of exercising and skills labs that respect SOC team time and resources.
Maps team readiness to risk for greater accountability at a strategic level.
While integration is still underway, both companies remain focused on delivering consistent service today while unlocking powerful new opportunities for defenders worldwide.
