Cybersecurity Testbed
Developing cybersecurity capabilities and strengthening defences against threats
In our rapidly evolving digital landscape, the urgency of cybersecurity as a critical priority for protecting data, infrastructure, and people cannot be overstated. With the proliferation of cyber threats and the increasing sophistication of attacks, the need for an environment where cybersecurity professionals can develop, assess, and hone their knowledge and skills is more critical than ever.
The cybersecurity testbed, based on the cyber range concept, is essential to meet these challenges. It provides remote access to a controlled and secure infrastructure to simulate attacks, test technologies, and train future cyber security professionals. It is a platform designed to meet the needs of the Latin American and Caribbean region, fostering collaboration between key stakeholders and strengthening resilience to cyber threats.
