CyberUP solutions
STEP INTO THE ARENA.TEST YOUR RESPONSE.
Hands-on cyber range training for technical teams, executives and organisational functions, using CyberUP’s IT/OT environments in person or remotely. Exercises use the Arena’s systems and scenarios, not a dedicated replica of the client’s infrastructure.
- Environment
- Generic CyberUP IT / OT / ICS systems
- Access
- In person, remotely or combined
- Installation
- No dedicated installation at the client’s premises
One arena · multiple access modes
THE CAPABILITY IS HERE.
CHOOSE HOW TO ACCESS IT.
An access model for organisations that want to develop readiness without installing a dedicated Arena. The environment, scenarios and support are used according to the agreed programme.
CyberUP environment
Generic IT / OT / ICS systems.The programme is tailored to roles and objectives; the environment does not replicate the client’s infrastructure.
In person
Sessions in CyberUP’s physical environments.
Remote
Participation in available scenarios through controlled access.
Ways to participate
In personAn immersive experience.Sessions in the physical IT/OT environments of CyberUP Training Arena.
Exercises, simulations and demonstrations use the Arena's systems and devices. Session format, participants and availability are agreed with CyberUP.
RemoteBring the capability to your team.Access to CyberUP scenarios for distributed groups and multi-session programmes.
A controlled connection gives participants access to the Arena's available environments. Access requirements and activities are defined around the programme.
CombinedOne programme. Multiple ways to participate.In-person and remote activities can be part of the same programme.
The two modes can be combined for preparation, exercises, debriefs and re-testing, according to the objectives and roles involved.
The environment belongs to CyberUP. Training Arena uses generic IT / OT / ICS systems. The programme adapts to roles and objectives, but it is not a dedicated replica of the client’s infrastructure.
Capability development
FROM KNOWLEDGE
TO PERFORMANCE.
Knowledge, procedures and responsibilities become observable behaviour under pressure. The programme is designed for the roles involved and the capabilities to be exercised.
Complementary functionsFour participant groups, not four phases. Their level of involvement depends on the exercise.
IT / OT / ICS
Systems, operations and recovery.
Scenarios connecting enterprise and industrial environments with operational responsibilities.
Executive
Decisions under pressure.
Leaders and crisis teams exercise priorities, escalation and business continuity.
Workforce
Behaviour and reporting.
Experiential awareness training and the ability to recognise and report relevant situations.
Controlled simulation
THE SCENARIO BEGINS.
RESPONSE TAKES PRACTICE.
Scenario, operational pressure and observation come together in an exercise. Red, Blue and White Teams have distinct responsibilities; they are not successive phases.
One reference lifecycle for designing, conducting and reviewing the exercise:
Design
Define the exerciseObjectives, scope, participants and observation criteria.
Attack
Activate the scenarioThe Red Team introduces the events defined for the exercise.
Respond
Put the response into practiceThe Blue Team tests its analysis, actions and coordination.
Control
Observe and coordinateThe White Team manages the exercise and gathers evidence.
Improve
Turn experience into improvementDebrief, observed gaps and actions for subsequent exercises.
Control throughout the exercise. The White Team oversees every phase; its work does not begin at the fourth step. Duration, intensity and events depend on the scenario.
- Red Team · CyberUP
- Simulates adversarial actions within the scenario.
- Blue Team · participants
- The participating team’s analysis, defence and response.
- White Team · CyberUP
- Exercise coordination, observation and debrief.
One capability · multiple missions
NOT JUST CONTENT TO STUDY.
AN ENVIRONMENT TO USE.
The same Arena can support technical exercises, executive activities, procedure testing and demonstrations. Activities take place within the systems available in the CyberUP environment.
Team exercise
Technical readiness.
SOC, Incident Response, IT and OT teams work through realistic, controlled scenarios.
Executive exercise
Crisis decision-making.
Leaders and crisis teams exercise escalation, coordination and continuity priorities.
Testing
Procedures under pressure.
Playbooks and handovers of responsibility are tested under exercise conditions.
Demonstration
See the capability in action.
Demonstration sessions to understand scenarios, architectures and response approaches.
Activities do not involve the client’s production network. Remote access uses controlled connectivity; this is not absolute isolation from networks or external threats.
Access model
ACCESS THE CAPABILITY.
DEVELOP IT OVER TIME.
Begin with focused exercises and build a progressive programme around roles, capabilities and priorities. Programmes, access modes and availability are agreed with the CyberUP team.
- An available environment
- CyberUP IT/OT systems for exercises and demonstrations, without dedicated deployment at the client’s premises.
- Role-based programmes
- Technical teams, leaders and employees take part in activities aligned with their responsibilities and objectives.
- Evolving scenarios
- New use cases and readiness objectives can be incorporated as scenarios are updated.
- Debrief and re-test
- Feedback, evidence and repeated exercises help address observed gaps and test improvement actions.
When to choose it
YOUR ORGANISATION.
A RESPONSE PUT TO THE TEST.
For access to CyberUP simulations, practice for people and procedures, or a closer look at the experience before starting a dedicated Arena project.
- Access without dedicated infrastructure at the client’s premises.
- In-person, remote or combined participation.
- Technical and decision-making objectives in the same programme.
