Cyber Range
Virginia has made a substantive and successful investment in this area by creating the Virginia Cyber Range. Initially funded by the Virginia General Assembly in 2016, this cloud-hosted virtual environment curates and hosts over 140 courseware materials accessible by schools and where students can practice their cybersecurity skills in immersive laboratory exercises.
The Cyber Range currently supports 158 high schools, 16 community colleges and 13 universities in Virginia, involving over 1,600 student participants. Partners across the CCI Network are engaging with the Cyber Range - see CCI Education and Experiential Learning Programs.
