During the summer, work is being finalized on two specialized classrooms at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology<\/a> of the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava. From September, they will become the home of FEI RANGE \u2013 a wargame simulator designed for live incident response training. The simulator is an academic version of our BinConf RANGE<\/a><\/span>\u00a0platform and will allow students to experience realistic cyberattacks before entering professional practice.<\/p>\n

Nowadays, when companies are looking for someone in cybersecurity, they usually aim for a person who can review a suspicious alert, read logs, understand attacker behavior, make decisions under pressure, and take the steps needed to stop a real incident.<\/p>\n

This is one of the biggest challenges in today\u2019s cybersec labor market. Regulations are increasing, pressure on companies is growing, and artificial intelligence has pushed the volume, speed, and sophistication of attacks to an unprecedented level. At the same time, there is a global shortage of millions of cybersecurity professionals, and in Slovakia alone, estimates from several years ago by National Security Authority<\/a> estimated about tens of thousands of unfilled positions in this field.<\/p>\n

The pressure on universities is growing as well, but schools face a difficult challenge: preparing graduates who are truly \u201cjob-ready.\u201d A future security analyst needs an environment where they can safely make mistakes, experiment, analyze, compare procedures, and experience a level of stress similar to what comes with a real attack. FEI RANGE will give students exactly that opportunity: to experience cybersecurity in practice and move academic education to a completely new level.<\/p>\n

The Labor Market Wants \u201cJob-Ready\u201d People. STU Can Help Deliver Them<\/h4>\n

FEI STU is one of the schools that has long been active in the field of information systems security. Traditionally, the faculty has had a strong background in areas such as cryptography and technical security. According to \u0160tefan Balogh from the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science at FEI STU, the labor market has increasingly been calling for experienced graduates who not only understand theory but also have practical exposure. \u201cThis type of knowledge is extremely valuable today. There are few people on the market who could join security centers straight after school and realistically work on incidents and solve them in practice.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

According to Balogh, cybersecurity is attractive to young people precisely because it changes quickly, brings new knowledge, and gives them a chance to understand a world that remains hidden beneath the surface for most people. Interest in cybersecurity is also growing year on year, as shown by the number of applications to the program. What has been missing is the practical component where students can test theory in real-world-like scenarios.<\/p>\n

Bridge Between Theory and Practice<\/h4>\n

FEI RANGE makes it possible to safely simulate both attack and defense. Students work in an isolated environment that behaves like a smaller organization with its own infrastructure, services, users, vulnerabilities, and security tools.<\/p>\n

The environment can be used to train account compromise, attacker lateral movement, phishing-based initial access, exploitation of vulnerabilities, malicious code execution, ransomware-based disk encryption, or abuse of system misconfigurations. The Blue Team must detect the attack, understand it, document it, respond to it, and, if possible, restore availability. The Red Team simulates the attacker and learns to think in a way that defenders need to understand.<\/p>\n

This is a fundamental difference compared with a standard laboratory exercise. Students need to know where to look for the attack, what individual indicators mean, how events in the network are connected, and what happens when a defender reacts too late or incorrectly. \u201cWe want students to avoid reacting randomly during an incident. They should know what to look at, what connections to investigate, and how to proceed when dealing with a specific type of attack,\u201d<\/em> explains \u0160tefan Balogh.<\/p>\n

Technical Specifics of FEI RANGE<\/h4>\n

From a technical perspective, FEI RANGE is an isolated and segmented cyber range infrastructure built on university hardware. The environment is designed to safely separate training from the university\u2019s production systems while enabling a realistic simulation of a corporate network.<\/p>\n

The solution includes:<\/p>\n
