Cyberbit, a leader in hyper-realistic attack simulation and SOC (Security Operations Center) readiness, has announced the acquisition of RangeForce, a pioneer in cloud-based cyber ranges and scalable team and individual cyber exercises. With headquarters in the U.S., the merged entity now offers one of the most advanced operational cyber readiness platforms worldwide, combining AI-driven training with highly realistic scenarios designed to prepare teams for today’s constantly evolving cyber threats. This acquisition underscores Cyberbit’s commitment to empowering cybersecurity professionals at the frontline of digital defense.

Uniting Industry Leaders with a Shared Vision

Cyberbit has long set the standard for realistic attack simulations, helping organizations test and enhance SOC performance under authentic cyber-attack conditions. RangeForce, recognized for its adaptive and scalable cyber range solutions, enables both solo and collaborative skill-building exercises. Both companies have earned accolades in the “Forrester Wave™: Cybersecurity Skills & Training Platforms,” with Cyberbit recognized as a Leader and RangeForce as a Strong Performer.

“Bringing our organizations together creates a seamless path for cybersecurity readiness, from entry-level skill development to preparing advanced teams for complex cyber-attacks,” said Brian Pierce, CEO of Cyberbit.

“Cyberbit’s acquisition of RangeForce represents a significant evolution in preparing teams for the real-world threat environment,” said Darren Battistoni, Managing Director and Co-Head of Technology Opportunities at Charlesbank Capital Partners, Cyberbit’s financial backer. “By combining these two market-leading cyber ranges, customers can now access a wider variety of high-fidelity training content and experiences that mirror the tools and environments they use daily.”

AI at the Heart of Cyber Readiness

RangeForce’s AI-powered tutor provides personalized learning paths, while its AI-driven content engine accelerates the creation of advanced cyber scenarios. This combination produces a continuously evolving SOC readiness library, keeping pace with the latest threat developments.

“Both Cyberbit and RangeForce are deeply committed to ensuring defenders are prepared for sophisticated attacks,” said David Etue, CEO of RangeForce. “Together, and with the integration of AI, we can offer training experiences that truly prepare SOC and IR teams for the challenges they face.”

As organizations face increasing scrutiny from boards and more aggressive adversaries, CISOs cannot afford to discover vulnerabilities only after a breach. The combined platform offers AI-driven, data-backed, hyper-realistic attack simulations that give security leaders confidence in their team’s capabilities.

“This platform enables CISOs to move beyond assumptions and gain a clear understanding of their team’s readiness, helping prevent gaps before they are exploited,” Pierce added.

Delivering Greater Value to Customers

The acquisition expands the Live-Fire Exercises catalog, strengthens the joint content library, enhances AI capabilities, improves the user experience, and broadens coverage for commercial, enterprise, and government organizations.

With dedicated teams and strategic data centers in the U.S. and EU, the combined company is also better equipped to support government agencies and highly regulated sectors, offering compliance-ready simulations and verified resilience in realistic attack scenarios.

Together, Cyberbit and RangeForce are setting a new standard in operational cyber readiness.

“Cyberbit and RangeForce joining forces is a pivotal milestone for cybersecurity readiness,” said Alex Whitworth, Cybersecurity Solutions Vertical Executive at Carahsoft Technology Corp. “This partnership amplifies our ability to deliver integrated, AI-powered readiness solutions, enabling both public sector and enterprise organizations across the U.S. to strengthen defenses against sophisticated cyber threats.”
