The Only Cyber Range with Five Exercise Families
From individual CTF challenges to full-scale strategic crisis simulations — one platform, one ecosystem, one contract. Critical Range is India's sovereign cyber range platform, deployed at the nation's most critical institutions.
Why This Matters
Organisations cobble together 3-5 different tools for different training needs — separate CTF platforms, separate course LMS, separate live-fire ranges, and ad-hoc tabletops for crisis exercises. Each tool means a separate procurement cycle, integration, analytics, and vendor relationship.
Foreign cyber range platforms impose vendor lock-in, recurring forex costs, and telemetry exposure. They cannot be deployed in air-gapped environments, and their source code cannot be audited.
Most platforms offer browser-based simulations — not real infrastructure. Defenders need muscle memory built on real Active Directory, real SIEM, real firewalls, not sandboxed approximations.
Critical Range
Critical Range delivers realistic, multi-domain cyber exercises on real infrastructure. Five native exercise families — CTF Challenges, Training Courses, Battle Stations (CDX), Wargames (ADX), and Crisis Simulator — within a single tenant-isolated ecosystem. Air-gap deployable with zero telemetry.
Key Capabilities
Five Exercise Families
UniqueCTF, Courses, Battle Stations, Wargames, and Crisis Simulator in one platform. Progressive readiness from individual to organization.
Real Infrastructure
Full AD, SIEM (Wazuh), firewalls, OT/SCADA — 28+ arena services deployed as real VMs, not simulations.
Air-Gap Ready
Deployed at leading defence establishments with zero internet dependency. No telemetry, no callbacks.
OT/ICS Security
9 ICS protocols (Modbus, DNP3, OPC UA, BACnet, IEC 61850), 3 digital twins (power, water, manufacturing).
MITRE ATT&CK Analytics
Every exercise produces measurable evidence. ATT&CK heatmaps, MTTD/MTTR trends, compliance reporting.
Multi-Tenant Architecture
Complete tenant isolation with RBAC (6 roles). Each organization operates independently within the platform.
42,000+ VM Scale
Proven at scale. Deploy enterprise-wide exercise environments with thousands of concurrent participants.
Multi-Cloud Orchestration
Orchestrate across OpenStack, AWS, Azure, GCP, and VMware. Intelligent IPAM with VXLAN isolation.
Use Cases
Real-world scenarios where Critical Range delivers measurable impact.
National Cyber Defence Exercise
Scenario: A defence establishment needs to conduct a multi-day, multi-team cyber defence exercise simulating advanced persistent threats across IT and OT infrastructure.
Outcome: Critical Range deploys a full enterprise environment with Active Directory, SIEM, OT/SCADA systems, and adversary simulation — enabling realistic red vs. blue exercises with measurable outcomes and ATT&CK-mapped analytics.
SOC Team Readiness Assessment
Scenario: A financial institution needs to assess their SOC team's detection and response capabilities against MITRE ATT&CK techniques before a regulatory audit.
Outcome: Using Battle Stations mode, the SOC team defends a realistic enterprise environment against automated attack chains. Results show MTTD improvement, technique coverage gaps, and compliance evidence for 8 frameworks.
Cybersecurity Training Centre of Excellence
Scenario: A university wants to establish a world-class cybersecurity training centre with progressive skill development paths — from beginner CTF challenges to advanced crisis simulations.
Outcome: Critical Range provides all five exercise families under one white-labelled platform. Students progress from Challenges to Courses to Battle Stations, with skill radar tracking and HMAC-verified certificates.
