2024 in Review: Transforming Cybersecurity Training & Defense

As we close out 2024, we reflect on an incredible year of innovation, growth, and collaboration at SimSpace. From empowering organizations by letting them simulate tomorrow’s threats today to engaging with global leaders in the field, this year has reinforced our commitment to redefining the future of cyber defense.

Leading the Way in Cyber Defense Innovation

This year, SimSpace cemented its position as a leader in high-fidelity cyber ranges by expanding its offerings, forging impactful partnerships, and welcoming new leadership to propel its mission forward. SimSpace empowers organizations to reduce uncertainty about their cybersecurity readiness by providing a realistic, high-fidelity environment to simulate, test, and optimize their teams, tools, and processes – giving organizations a platform to simulate and test your ‘what if’ scenarios in a realistic cyber environment

Strengthening Compliance & Resilience with Real-World Simulations

Our collaboration with EY and the Cybersecurity Foundation brought SimSpace’s technology to Poland’s Cyber-EXE event, enabling financial institutions to meet DORA compliance requirements. By testing incident response and reporting capabilities in realistic scenarios, we helped organizations enhance their preparedness and regulatory adherence.

Award-Winning Innovation: Equipping Teams for Real-World Threats

SimSpace’s dedication to innovation was recognized with the “Security Training Innovation Award” from CyberSecurity Breakthrough. This accolade underscores our commitment to providing defenders with advanced, hands-on training environments to tackle today’s most pressing cyber threats. Our platform ensures teams are well-prepared for any challenge, helping organizations reduce uncertainty and improve readiness.

Elevating OT Security with Realistic Industry Scenarios

In response to the growing need for Operational Technology (OT) security, we partnered with Fortiphyd Logic to offer enhanced OT training environments. These scenarios mirror real-world challenges faced by industries like energy and manufacturing, equipping teams with the skills to protect SCADA and industrial control systems. With SimSpace, organizations can simulate, test, and optimize their OT security strategies in a realistic, high-fidelity environment.

Welcoming New Leadership

We’re thrilled to have Clint Sand (Chief Product Officer), Roger Blanchette (Chief Financial Officer), and Matt Knutsen (Chief Revenue Officer) join our team. Their combined expertise in AI, ML, finance, and revenue strategies will strengthen SimSpace’s ability to innovate and scale in 2025 and beyond.
