The FBI built a small town to simulate cyberattacks
Summary
The FBI has opened a Cyber Range in Huntsville, Alabama, a 22,000 square foot mock town used to simulate cyberattacks against real world environments like hospitals, homes, and small businesses. The facility is designed to train agents and partners by running end to end exercises that mirror modern digital crimes and infrastructure disruption.
Why it matters
Better simulation of cyber incidents tightens federal response capability for attacks that can disrupt everyday services and critical infrastructure.
