CompTIA to use Cloud Range’s live-fire range to demonstrate real-world cyberattack in hands-on workshop at TechNet Indo-Pacific 2025

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Experiencing the complete anatomy of a cyberattack from initial breach to response across IT and operational technology (OT) environments is the focus of an immersive cyber range exercise led by CompTIA, the leading global provider of vendor-neutral information technology (IT) training and certifications, at this month's TechNet Indo-Pacific conference. CompTIA will be using Cloud Range’s cyber range to interact with a live attack in a contained training environment.

“Skills for Protecting Mission-Critical Infrastructure: A Hands-On Workshop” is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 29, 2 p.m. HST. The session is a part of TechNet Indo-Pacific, the largest event focusing on regional defense issues, Oct. 28-30 in Honolulu.

Dr. James Stanger, chief technology evangelist for CompTIA, will lead the CompTIA Learning Solutions Series workshop. He’ll be joined by Bri Frost, director of product management, and Jason Stutt, chief revenue officer, Cloud Range, the leading cyber range platform provider, which uses advanced and realistic cyber attack simulations to ensure security practitioners have the skills they need to defend against any type of cyber attack. provider of simulation-based cyberattack platform. Also joining is Yuri Sidorov, innovation architect, Cubic DTECH Mission Solutions, a recognized industry leader in providing trusted, scalable and intuitive edge compute and networking platforms. Amazon Web Services will also be represented on the panel.

“Workshop participants will interact with these experts in a hands-on cyber range exercise on protecting critical communications infrastructure spanning IT and OT systems,” Stanger said. “You'll experience firsthand how attacks unfold—from reconnaissance through exploitation to detection and response—across converged IT/OT environments, while learning the essential skills needed to help unify and secure edge and cloud computing infrastructures for better communications and outcomes.”

At the end of this workshop participants will be able to:

• Analyze the critical infrastructure attack surface at the tactical edge for enterprise and cloud environments including IT/OT convergence points and understand attacker reconnaissance methods
• Evaluate typical and asymmetric attacks that occur
• Identify critical, hands-on security analytics methods for protecting communications
• Create new cross-skilling pathways and learning opportunities with confidence

Workshop participants can earn continuing education units (CEUs) to renew their CompTIA certifications, including CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+, DataSys+, Linux+, and Cloud+. Experience the complete anatomy of a real-world cyberattack in this hands-on cyber range environment. This session is designed for all levels of cyber expertise; technical and non-technical participants alike will gain valuable insights.
