Florida public sector training on SimSpace cyber range: Case study | TechTarget
Experience is the best teacher, but in cybersecurity, it often comes at a cost. Just ask anyone -- from a CISO to a Tier 1 analyst -- who has lived through a major breach.
In Florida, however, thousands of public-sector employees can get realistic, hands-on incident response experience for free through a state-funded cyber range.
