What Is a Cyber Range?

A cyber range is a secure, virtual training environment designed to simulate real-world cyber threats. It allows students and professionals to safely explore how attacks happen—and how to stop them—using the same tools and tactics found in the field. Think of it as a digital proving ground where you build skills through hands-on experience.

What You’ll Experience

The Pace Cyber Range is an interactive environment where you’ll explore the full lifecycle of cyber attacks—from reconnaissance to defense. You’ll tackle real-world scenarios using virtual machines and containerized labs preloaded with industry-standard tools. With increasing levels of difficulty, each challenge helps you build the skills employers demand in today’s cybersecurity careers.
