At SimSpace we are a leading provider of cyber range solutions that help organizations assess, evaluate, and optimize their security posture. Many customers that SimSpace has worked with in the past have successfully optimized their technology stack and reduced costs by proving that certain technologies are not necessary for maintaining security. Here's how Fortune 2000 companies can use SimSpace's cyber range to achieve a similar outcome:
- Create a custom cyber range environment: SimSpace allows organizations to develop a tailored cyber range environment that replicates their unique infrastructure and technology stack. By simulating their networks, applications, and systems, companies can ensure a realistic evaluation of their security tools.
- Deploy security tools and alternatives: Within the cyber range environment, Fortune 2000 companies can deploy their current security tools, as well as potential alternatives. This enables organizations to compare the performance of different solutions and assess whether they are necessary for their security posture.
- Conduct realistic cyber exercises: SimSpace's cyber range allows organizations to engage in various cyber exercises, including simulated attacks, penetration testing, and vulnerability assessments. These exercises help evaluate the effectiveness of different security tools and identify potential redundancies or inefficiencies.
- Monitor and analyze results: Companies can leverage SimSpace's monitoring and analytics capabilities to track the performance of their security tools during cyber exercises. This data can be used to determine which tools are essential for maintaining security and which can be replaced or eliminated to reduce costs.
- Optimize security tool configuration: Based on the cyber exercise results and analysis, organizations can optimize their security tool configurations to enhance protection against real-world cyber threats, while eliminating unnecessary tools and associated costs.
- Train and educate staff: SimSpace's cyber range can be utilized to educate and train IT and security staff. This helps them understand how to effectively use and configure the most essential security tools, respond to incidents, and develop a proactive security mindset without relying on redundant technologies.
- Continuously improve security posture: Regularly conducting cyber exercises within the SimSpace cyber range enables Fortune 2000 companies to continually evaluate and refine their security tools and overall security posture. This iterative process helps organizations stay ahead of emerging threats, maintain a strong security foundation, and optimize their technology stack to reduce costs.
As digital and network transformation efforts have organically evolved over the last few years, companies are now discovering a plethora of security tools that were often acquired without the approval of security teams. These tools, in some cases, may not be providing the expected value or have become redundant due to overlapping functionalities or changes in the technology stack.
By leveraging the SimSpace cyber range, security leadership teams can now present tangible evidence to their board of directors, showcasing that certain tools can be removed from the infrastructure, leading to significant cost savings. This approach empowers organizations to optimize their technology stack, reduce costs, and maintain a strong security posture, while demonstrating the value of their security investments to the board. SimSpace's cyber range solution has become an essential tool for Fortune 2000 companies in navigating the complex cybersecurity landscape and making informed, data-driven decisions about their security infrastructure.
