In an effort to better combat cyber attacks IBM built a simulated version of the entire internet in a data center located in Massachusetts coined the “cyber range”. The cyber range is manned by former security experts from federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies. The cyber range is capable of simulating live malware, ransomware and other hacking tools type of cyber attacks. The end goal is to better prepare clients to recover from large scale cyber attacks. According to IBM many IT and security professional who they surveyed do not have an incident response plan in place. No one can stop all cyber attacks but having an incident response plan in place could be the deciding factor in determining if your business succeeds or fail if faced with that situation.
