Featured deployments

Six anchors. Across academia, government, defence, and industry.

Industry · Two-site phygital deployment

GMR Group

Two Cyberange Phygital labs across GMR's footprint — an academic-version lab in Hyderabad for in-house training, and an operational airport / aviation cyber-security range in Delhi.

The Hyderabad lab runs the academic Phygital curriculum for GMR's training programmes and capability-building — the same hardware line used by university Centres of Excellence, sized for working-professional cohorts. The Delhi lab is sector-specific: built for aviation cyber-security scenarios — airport ground systems, baggage handling, passenger services, and ATC-adjacent risk surfaces — drilled against the same platform Cyberange ships to NCIIPC and the UAE Cyber Security Council.

“Cybercrime is the theft of invisible money — a weapon of mass destruction. Everybody has to learn about it.”

Universities · Two-campus deployment

Manipal Universities

Two Cyberange Phygital lab deployments across the Manipal group — the flagship MAHE-ISAC Centre of Excellence at Manipal (Manipal Town), and a parallel deployment at Manipal University Jaipur (MUJ).

MAHE hosts the full Cyberange Phygital Lab line on a permanent benchtop, running the 3-day IoT/SCADA bootcamp every cohort — SCADA exploitation, ICS protocol triage, and IoT forensics for engineering and computer-science students. The Jaipur campus (MUJ) was commissioned more recently and now extends the same curriculum and hardware platform to its students; cohort outcomes from MUJ will land over the next academic cycle.

“A wonderful opportunity to provide security aspects to engineering students who will own the infrastructure of the next decade.”

International · Sovereign programme

UAE Cyber Security Council

Cyberange built “The Pulse” — the UAE Cyber Security Council's cyber-city showcase on which four Guinness World Records were set, including the world's largest cyber-city simulation.

The Pulse — the UAE CSC's cyber-city architecture — runs on the Cyberange Phygital Range platform, scaled up by an order of magnitude for this deployment. Headline records include the Largest Cyber City Simulation Model (50 square metres, surpassing the previous 48) and Most Devices in a Cyber City Simulation (500+ devices, surpassing the previous 32). Four records in total across the showcase.

BSSN · Indonesia

Cyberange Phygital Range deployed for Badan Siber dan Sandi Negara — Indonesia's national cyber and crypto agency — supporting capability-building for personnel who defend the country's critical information infrastructure.

Built on the same Phygital Range platform that ships to the UAE Cyber Security Council and India's NCIIPC, adapted to BSSN's national-agency operating context. The simulator carries 250+ attack scenarios across airport, power grid, high-speed rail, and banking — drilled against the Pusbang SDM BSSN training programme. A second sovereign-international footprint alongside the UAE showcase.

Government · Founding partnership

NCIIPC CII Range

The first Phygital model Cyberange ever built — in exclusive collaboration with NCIIPC. NCIIPC's sectoral expertise across India's critical infrastructure is the foundation the platform stands on today.

NCIIPC opened access to the depth of operational knowledge that exists across India's power, transport, banking, and telecom critical sectors — domain expertise without which the Phygital Range could not have been built to reflect real-world conditions. Their guidance shaped the scenarios, the protocol coverage, and the threat-actor profiles the platform now ships with. Cyberange remains publicly thankful for that early stewardship. The first deployment was showcased at the Global Conference on Cyberspace 2017 in New Delhi, with 120 countries participating — scenarios scoped against real critical systems (metro, airport, power plant, nuclear-plant simulations) and inaugurated by the Prime Minister of India.

“Identify flaws and weaknesses in our systems, remove them in time, so that when a real attack occurs, we can remain secure.”

Armed forces · Hackathon services

Indian Army · MCTE

Three hackathon tracks built and run by Cyberange for the Military College of Telecommunication Engineering — anchoring the Indian Army's first-ever cyber hackathon, Sainya Ranakshetram.

Cyberange architected three challenge tracks: Software-Defined Radio (SDR) exploitation, Cyber Offensive skills (Pentest), and Secure Coding. The combined competition ran from October to December 2021 under Army Training Command (ARTRAC), drew over 15,000 participants, and was concluded by the Chief of the Army Staff felicitating winners in February 2022. A services engagement focused on talent identification — the hackathons were designed and run by Cyberange.

“We will be able to be totally self-reliant in IT and AI for national defence — leveraging India's strength in software to develop proprietary systems.”
