Cyberbit, a leader in hyper-realistic attack simulation cyber ranges and SOC readiness, has acquired RangeForce, a pioneer in cloud-based cyber ranges and scalable training exercises. This strategic move combines the strengths of both companies to deliver a comprehensive, AI-powered operational cyber readiness platform, designed to prepare security teams for evolving threats in commercial, enterprise, and government sectors.
Cyberbit's hyper-realistic attack simulations set industry standards for testing SOC performance under live conditions, while RangeForce excels in scalable, adaptive upskilling for solo and team scenarios. Recognized in the Forrester Wave for Cybersecurity Skills & Training Platforms—Cyberbit as a Leader and RangeForce as a Strong Performer—the acquisition creates a seamless progression from foundational skills to advanced threat response. “By joining forces, the companies create a seamless readiness journey, from entry-level analysts building skills and experience to advanced defenders confronting the most sophisticated cyber-attacks,” said Brian Pierce, CEO at Cyberbit.
At the heart of the combined platform is AI innovation: RangeForce's adaptive tutor offers personalized learning paths, while its AI content engine generates dynamic scenarios that mirror the threat landscape. This results in an evolving SOC readiness library, ensuring teams stay ahead of aggressive adversaries. “Cyberbit and RangeForce bring together two organizations deeply passionate about cybersecurity defender readiness,” said David Etue, CEO of RangeForce. “The combined company’s capabilities, paired with our recent advances in AI, position us to deliver experiences that ensure SOC and IR teams are prepared for sophisticated cyber-attacks.”
As boards demand verifiable resilience and breaches reveal costly gaps, the platform spans SOC operations to executive reporting, providing data-driven simulations that build muscle memory and coordination. “This is the solution for CISOs who want to move past assumptions and truly understand their teams’ capabilities, and for the CISOs who refuse to discover gaps only after the damage is done,” said Pierce. The acquisition expands live-fire exercise catalogs, enhances user experiences, and strengthens compliance for government sectors, with data centers in the US and EU.
"Cyberbit’s acquisition of RangeForce represents a significant leap forward in how organizations can prepare their teams for the realities of today’s cyber threat landscape,” said Darren Battistoni, Managing Director and Co-Head of Technology Opportunities at Charlesbank Capital Partners, Cyberbit’s financial sponsor. “By uniting two of the industry’s leading cyber ranges, we believe customers can now gain access to an unprecedented breadth of content and highly realistic training experiences built around the same tools and environments they use every day."
"Cyberbit and RangeForce joining forces marks a major milestone in cybersecurity readiness. As a partner to both companies, Carahsoft is thrilled to see this powerful combination come together with their vision to deliver this comprehensive, AI-powered readiness platform for SOC and IR teams," said Alex Whitworth, Cybersecurity Solutions Vertical Executive at Carahsoft Technology Corp. "This collaboration enhances Carahsoft’s ability to provide innovative, integrated solutions, enabling the Public Sector and enterprises across the U.S. to strengthen their defenses against today’s most persistent and sophisticated adversaries."
