Hohenbrunn, Germany April 20, 2020  ectacom GmbH, Business Development distributor and RangeForce, provider of a scalable, interactive, on-demand cyber-training platform, have announced a strategic partnership to introduce and establish the RangeForce platform in the DACH and Eastern European regions.

RangeForce believes in the power of leveling up SOC and cybersecurity staff by providing advanced cyber defense training, along with the capability to accurately and quantitatively assess and improve the real skill levels of team members. RangeForce’s extensive library of on-demand modules is an affordable and easy way for organisations to give their teams access to continuous, hands-on, real-world cybersecurity simulation training, thereby improving overall operational cyber-resilience and eliminating potential vulnerabilities. 

As well as being a cost-effective way to maximize the range of cybersecurity knowledge, the RangeForce platform also provides:

  • Benchmarking and reporting of performance and real skills levels of technical staff.
  • Over 135 separate training modules that mimic real breach scenarios, allowing employees to stay up to date with the latest threats and vulnerabilities.
  • The ability to set up comprehensive red team – blue team exercises in minutes.
  • Recognition of the most talented IT and security staff, as well as identification of the best qualified new hires. 

Said Tome Spasov, Managing Partner of ectacom GmbH: “Nowadays, it is evident that companies must upgrade the skill levels of their cyber security teams, without increasing costs or having to engage additional resources to do so. We have recognized the trend of such investments during the recent global developments, and, in the current climate, it is even more crucial for companies to be able to detect and respond to threats reliably. We are delighted to endorse RangeForce in our portfolio and provide our customers the opportunity to incorporate real-life situational training that provides the experience of defending against a real cyber-attack”.

RangeForce Director of EMEA, Rupert Collier: “We are extremely excited to be working with ectacom GmbH as our specialist distributor in the DACH and Eastern European markets. They have a very extensive base of well-established, security focussed partners and customers, for whom RangeForce is an ideal solution. RangeForce helps to plug a massive gap in the market, with recent reports highlighting over 4 million unfilled openings for cybersecurity roles worldwide, and almost 300,000 of these in Europe alone. Continuous Professional Development is crucial, especially in these difficult times, and our “Cyber Range in the Cloud” is already proving to be of great interest to some of the largest companies in the region. Upskilling and cross-skilling technical employees has never been more important. We look forward to extending our market presence into DACH and beyond with the help of the experienced and talented team at ectacom.”
