RangeForce and One Distribution are working to expand the SaaS cybersecurity training platform
Estonian-founded cybersecurity training start-up RangeForce, and distributor One Distribution are looking to accelerate the RangeForce's SaaS-based cybersecurity platform in the UK and Ireland.
Under the deal, One Distribution and RangeForce plan to bolster cybersecurity training across both regions by giving enterprises access to the platform so they can equip their employees with the skills needed to fend off and respond to critical cyberattacks.
The SaaS-based cybersecurity platform provides users with the ability to simulate continuous learning through integrated cyber range and on-demand training; in-depth, role-based learning paths specific to the core competencies of Security Operation, DevOps, and Application Security personne; and hands-on training sessions based on the some of the latest vulnerabilities and cyber-attack procedures to date.
“Our enterprise customers are looking to reduce the costs of training as well as increase cyber incident detection and reduce the need to have critical staffers off-site at training. These are all factors in driving newer cloud-based, on-demand cybersecurity training platforms to the forefront as a significant focus of technology investment,” said John Dams, General Manager of One Distribution. “RangeForce provides its entire training platform as a single SaaS solution - including 130+ training modules and a highly effective cyber range that has been battle-tested by major banks and technology firms across the UK and Ireland.”
Commenting on the partnership, Ruppert Collier, the RangeForce Director of EMEA, said: “Cloud-based cyberskills platforms are disrupting security training because legacy approaches can’t provide the highly realistic, hands-on exposure needed to prepare the workforce for real-world cyber-attacks and vulnerabilities. A key feature of the RangeForce platform is the ability to provide proof through quantitative benchmarking CISOs and boards demand. We’re thrilled to be working with One Distribution. They’re a team I know well, with a proven record of helping customers solve security challenges and build cyber resilience in enterprises across the region.”
RangeForce has a global customer base across the financial, technology, and health-care sectors, with the likes of Microsoft, Barclays, Santander, and Pipedrive among its clients, it says.
