In the world of cybersecurity, which has become one of the most important sectors of this century, the shortage of trained human resources and the inability to develop qualified personnel has become a significant problem that organisations and governments must address. Organisations select the cybersecurity experts they bring in based on the certifications they hold or their experience at information security firms in the private sector. At this point, a heavy responsibility falls — unfortunately — on those in positions such as CISO.
The insufficiency of the existing cybersecurity workforce in terms of the number of professionals it contains is a problem that manifests not only in our country but across the entire world in similar fashion.
Existing risks continue unabated, and we can see that cyber attacks are growing and continuing to expand day by day. This will naturally give rise to far greater problems in the years ahead. On the other hand, the existing workforce must possess the necessary skills and experience, and must continue to renew itself in the face of evolving technology.
As Privia Security, in this technological age we find ourselves in, we continue to provide the workforce needed to overcome this challenge while also cultivating new potential by building skills, training, experience and talent.
The most important platforms used to reduce the experience and skills gap and to secure corporate networks and even state systems are defined as Cyber Range.
PriviaHub is our country’s first and only online Cybersecurity Training, Simulation and Exercise (Cyber Range) Platform, enabling everyone working in private companies, public institutions and organisations, or with an interest in cybersecurity, to increase their knowledge levels and conduct practical applications. Cyber Range products are dedicated systems consisting of interactive, simulated platforms and networks.
Practical and dedicated training must be provided to enhance the skills of cybersecurity teams. Cyber Range products are specialised tools that provide all the necessary instruments and catalysts at this point. In order to increase their knowledge and experience in the cybersecurity sector, individuals need to practise and apply their skills in a hands-on environment. However, there are very few resources available for legal hacking, and the majority of these resources are far removed from the real world and consist of legacy systems. The opportunity for a cybersecurity employee or specialist to gain experience on the network of a bank or a power station is extremely difficult and rarely comes along. On the other hand, human resources departments at organisations face major problems during recruitment. Evaluating a person solely on the basis of their certifications unfortunately brings with it significant costs and major disappointments for organisations. Cyber Range products are corporate tools that overcome these problems and can be used in a manner tailored to individual people or teams. They also represent a major opportunity for states to train their cyber armies.
The PriviaHub Cyber Range product offers dedicated systems for everyone from military personnel to individuals wishing to develop themselves independently. It is open to trainers seeking a curriculum and/or infrastructure for practical exercises, military personnel, organisation employees and managers, and anyone with an amateur or professional interest in cybersecurity.
The common denominator of problems such as providing cybersecurity training, adding workforce, and giving experience to the existing workforce is the inability to simulate the networks used in professional environments. In critical sectors, this problem emerges even more clearly.
In order to gain experience at a natural gas plant, or to be able to attack a bank’s network as effectively as a malicious cyber attacker, we must use a copy or simulated version of the target system. Otherwise, we may cause damage to the systems or disrupt business continuity.
This challenge is prominent in many sectors including healthcare, aviation, military, finance and energy. Not only for gaining experience, but also when you want to integrate a new product into the corporate network, POC processes can end up taking months. We see similar problems in the education sector too. However practical existing cybersecurity training may be, instead of hacking a real corporate network, we can only operate on one or several vulnerable machines within certain limits.
However, in the cybersecurity profession, the quality of training people receive is directly proportional to its realism, the legality of potential training exercises, the training’s capabilities, the experience the training offers the participant, access to real systems, the usability of newly emerged vulnerabilities and the accessibility of the training environment. The more realistic a training application you can offer, the more effective and accurate the training you can deliver. Conversely, training offered in a limited fashion is unfortunately insufficient for developing cybersecurity teams in today’s technological age.
Cyber Ranges are the embodiment of interactive, simulated platforms and networks. They can solve all of the problems listed above, while simultaneously providing separate simulation environments for defence and attack teams.
