ServusTV presents AIT Cyber Range

Realistic cyber training for critical infrastructures
 

How can operators of critical infrastructures be effectively prepared for cyber attacks? A recent report by ServusTV provides exciting insights into the training and education activities of the AIT Cyber Range at the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology.

In an interview, cyber security expert Gregor Langner explains how simulation-based cyber exercises help to realistically depict real-life threat scenarios. At the AIT Cyber Range, complex attacks on critical infrastructures are simulated under controlled conditions – from energy and transport networks to industrial control systems.

The aim of the training is not only to impart technical know-how, but above all to train decision-making skills under stress. Participating organizations learn to recognize cyber attacks at an early stage, respond appropriately, and coordinate processes effectively in the event of a crisis. This strengthens the resilience of companies and institutions in the long term.

The TV report impressively shows how practical cyber exercises are a central component of modern security precautions – especially for operators of critical infrastructures, whose failure would have serious social and economic consequences.
