Real world cyber warfare learning environments

National Cyber Warfare Foundation

Our mission: to operate and support a global network of real-world cyber warfare ranges. Our philosophy, talent, and technologies have proven to be the most effective learning environments for rapidly developing cyber security talent.


We hope to grow our network of cyber warfare ranges; delivering knowledge, workforce development, and other significant value to our members and cooperating partners.

The ranges we operate are run by and for hackers to learn three critical skill sets;

  • Cyber Attack / Hacking / Computer Network Attack (CNA)
  • Cyber Defense / Computer Network Defense (CND)
  • Digital Forensics / Breach Investigation

These skills are taught via a self paced, hands on, well crafted series of "ranges". They are designed to help users acquire and fully develop practical skill they will use in the real world as cyber security professionals.

Everyone who operates a range thinks they do the same thing. However there is a big difference. That difference is composed of many factors that are simply not available to traditional companies, institutions, and government entities.
