Cloud Range’s Cyber Simulation and AI Validation Platform Recognized at the 14th Annual Global InfoSec Awards at RSAC Conference 2026
NASHVILLE, Tenn.: Cloud Range, the industry-leading cyber range solution for organizational readiness, today announced it has been named the winner of the Visionary Cyber Defense Readiness Platform category in the 2026 Global InfoSec Awards from Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM).
Cloud Range enables organizations to build true cyber readiness through experiential, live-fire simulations that mirror real-world attacks. Through fully managed, customizable cyber ranges, security teams and AI SOC agents can be trained to defend against evolving threats using the same tools and environments as in their actual operations. The dynamic simulations bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and hands-on application, allowing teams and AI agents to detect, respond to, and mitigate complex cyberattacks effectively. Organizations can also assess both human candidates and AI agents, streamline onboarding, and guide ongoing skill development and workflow alignment across individuals and teams. This holistic approach ensures that cyber defenders are not just certified but truly prepared to reduce organizational cyber risk and adapt to the dynamic threat landscape.
“We are thrilled to receive this Global InfoSec Award and proud of the entire innovative team at Cloud Range that continues to push our platform forward,” said Debbie Gordon, CEO of Cloud Range. “It’s vital for organizations to understand how both their people and their AI systems perform under pressure. Our platform makes that possible by replicating both real-world attack scenarios and the environments teams operate in, giving organizations the ability to validate readiness before facing live threats.”
The platform is a safe environment to test against live-fire simulations across IT, OT/ICS, and cloud environments with licensed tools and live traffic. Rather than static labs or self-guided exercises, teams engage in adversary-driven scenarios that reflect how attacks unfold in production environments.
With a continuously updated attack library and the ability to evaluate both human and AI agent performance, Cloud Range helps organizations prepare for evolving threats with greater confidence. Its focus on team-based execution, realistic conditions, and measurable outcomes enables organizations to strengthen cyber capability and proactively reduce risk.
“Cloud Range embodies three major features we judges look for to become winners: understanding tomorrow’s threats, today, providing a cost-effective solution, and innovating in unexpected ways that can help mitigate cyber risk and get one step ahead of the next breach,” said Gary S. Miliefsky, Publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM).
Global InfoSec Award judges are CISSP, FMDHS, and CEH-certified security professionals who voted based on their independent review of the company's submitted materials on each submission's website, including, but not limited to, data sheets, white papers, product literature, and other market variables.
“We scoured the globe looking for cybersecurity innovators that could make a huge difference and potentially help turn the tide against the exponential growth in cybercrime. Cloud Range is absolutely worthy of this coveted award and consideration for deployment in your environment,” said Yan Ross, Global Editor of Cyber Defense Magazine.
