SimSpace unveils major upgrades to its ai-empowered Cyber Range Platform to drive the Training and testing convergence. Early Access Program delivers hands-on access to capabilities designed to close the Training/Testing Gap and validate resilience across people, processes, technologies, and AI. BOSTON and ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - SimSpace, the realistic, intelligent cyber range for elite cybersecurity organizations, today announced the launch of its Early Access Program for its enhanced SimSpace Cyber Range Platform. This major advancement comes on the heels of SimSpace redefining how organizations unite training and testing to continuously strengthen cyber readiness and resilience in the age of AI. When training and testing are siloed, human and artificial operators are tested to ensure proficiency in isolation from how tools and playbooks actually perform under pressure. SimSpace calls the flaw in this conventional approach the Train / Test Gap. AI-driven threats adapt in real time, and traditional training-only environments can no longer deliver measurable confidence. Research shows: * Training happens in one environment * Organizations value realistic simulation testing, but implementation is scattered at best * AI is a priority, but security teams can't prove its efficacy SimSpace tackles this by uniting training and testing in a single production-grade cyber range where elite cyber individuals, teams, and entire organizations can safely and rapidly train, test, and validate their offensive and defensive capabilities across people, processes, and technologies. Organizations can only claim readiness when they repeatedly train and test in environments that reflect the complexity of real operations, which include cloud infrastructure, production tools, hardware, human behavior, and now adaptive AI. "Autonomous AI attacks are pushing the asymmetry between offense and defense to a breaking point, and defenders can't afford to rely on isolated training or theoretical testing anymore," said Clint Sand, Chief Product and Engineering Officer of SimSpace. "What's required now is a full lifecycle approach. Training, testing, and validating in realistic conditions that reflect how systems actually operate. Organizations need to adopt AI rapidly, but they also need to manage the operational risk of deploying unproven autonomous agents. With Early Access, SimSpace provides a responsive, adversarial environment where teams can validate people, processes, technologies, and AI together. Before those capabilities are trusted in the real world." AI is accelerating the convergence of training and testing. The way you train AI is by testing it; the same is now true for cyber operators, workflows, and full-stack defenses. SimSpace designed its platform to enable this convergence as a strategic advantage for customers. SimSpace combines learning, testing, validation, and performance measurements into a single realism-first environment. Key highlights of major upgrades to the platform unveiled include:

SimSpace has launched an Early Access Program for major upgrades to its AI-powered cyber range platform, designed to bridge what it calls the "Train/Test Gap" in cybersecurity. The platform enables organisations to train and test defensive capabilities across people, processes, technologies and AI in a single production-grade environment. Key enhancements include AI-assisted range design and automation, an intuitive drag-and-drop Range Workbench, Tool Tester for security benchmarking, and improved Team Trainer for live-fire exercises. The platform is built API-first to enable custom integrations and automation at scale. SimSpace positions the upgrades as essential for organisations facing autonomous AI attacks, allowing teams to validate capabilities in realistic conditions before deployment. Current customers can contact account representatives, whilst new customers can express interest through the company's website.

SimSpace and Rilian Technologies partner to strengthen agentic cyber defense for critical infrastructure organizations in the US and GCC. News provided by. Partnership brings realistic Cyber Range Platform into Rilian Technologies' defense ecosystem, enabling governments and allies to train, test, and validate cyber defenses with confidence BOSTON and MCLEAN, Va., Jan. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - SimSpace, the realistic, intelligent cyber range for elite cybersecurity organizations, today announced a strategic partnership with Rilian Technologies, a cybersecurity and defense technology platform reimagining how governments and corporations access, deploy, and operationalize advanced cyber capabilities. Together, the companies will deliver integrated cyber training and testing capabilities that help Gulf Cooperation Council allies prove cyber readiness in the face of a rapidly evolving AI-fueled threat landscape. This partnership will integrate SimSpace's cyber range platform into the Rilian Defense Platform, allowing operators to test technologies and validate agentic workflows in realistic environments. The joint solution meets sovereign security, compliance, and control needs while promoting the adoption of modern cyber capabilities among allied nations. "Agentic cyber defense demands an intelligent environment in which to train AI models, test AI agents, and validate agentic workflows," said Graham Westbrook, VP of International Markets at SimSpace. "Partnering with Rilian allows us to extend realistic, production-grade cyber simulation as testbeds for decision-makers tasked with organizational AI transformation. Together, we are helping governments, ministries of defense, and critical infrastructure operators move from assume breach to preemption." Rilian Technologies is a leading provider of cybersecurity and defense solutions, and its Defense Platform is designed to remove the barriers that governments and critical infrastructure operators face when adopting cutting-edge cyber and defense technologies. Its secure marketplace, agentic command-and-control layer, and automated compliance capabilities provide a trusted foundation for deploying and operating advanced solutions at nation scale. By integrating SimSpace, Rilian's customers gain access to continuous mission rehearsal technology that connects training directly to testing and validation. "Global security depends on how quickly and safely our partners can operationalize modern cyber and defense technology innovations," said Christian Schnedler, CEO of Rilian Technologies. "SimSpace brings a level of realism and rigor that is essential for nation scale cyber readiness. This partnership ensures our customers can deploy advanced technologies and continuously validate that they work as intended in environments that mirror real operations." To commemorate the partnership, Schnedler, Westbrook, and Jason Rivera, SimSpace Field CISO, held a ribbon-cutting in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
