Circadence® Joins National Effort to Promote Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience

BOULDER, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Circadence–Circadence Corporation, the market leader in cybersecurity readiness
solutions, is participating in Critical Infrastructure Security and
Resilience Month by educating public and private sectors about modern
cybersecurity readiness solutions that emulate networks of entire
cities, enabling collaborative preparedness work.

Circadence’s virtualized cyber ranges-as-a-service (CyRaaS^™)
provide public/private entities the opportunity to train in realistic
cyber environments that mirror their actual interconnected,
internet-of-things networks. These virtualized ranges can model the
digital footprints of companies, agencies, entire city networks and even
Nation State operation exercises, into living physical and fifth
domain environments. Teams can collaborate and train together to test
and improve their cyber skills in protected environments that can scale
and flex as their organizations’ inter-connected structure does, but
without impacting live systems and networks.

“We are seeing agencies and companies work to make systematic, holistic,
and cultural changes through improved cybersecurity standards, best
practices, processes, technology, and workforce,” said Josh Davis,
Circadence’s Director of Channels. “The massive, distributed, and legacy
infrastructure we have today demands a layered security approach that
focuses on building a true understanding of what’s at risk with critical
infrastructure today—and that requires a targeted focus on the people
who operate these systems both digitally and physically.”

During November, Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Month
promotes different themes related to the issue including:

• Our connected infrastructure: Cyber and physical interdependence
• Hometown
  Security – “Connect, Plan, Train, Report.”
• Partnering with the public and private sectors to build resilience Week
• Fostering innovation and investment in resilient infrastructure

America’s national security and economic prosperity are increasingly
dependent upon critical infrastructure that is at risk from a variety of
hazards, including cyberattacks. Critical infrastructure security and
resilience requires a clear understanding of the risks we face and a
whole-of-community effort that involves partnership between public,
private, and non-profit sectors.

Circadence’s flagship cybersecurity training and assessment platform Project
Ares^® has already been leveraged to conduct live-fire
training exercises for the City of Houston in partnership
with AECOM and the Army Cyber Institute (ACI). The live-fire exercises
gave a new dimension and real-world simulation to traditional “table
top” exercises that are typically used for disaster preparedness. The
exercises brought all required sectors (government, industry, academia)
together and included the technical and policy personnel, so everyone
learned how to work together.

“Just as we rely on critical infrastructure, we all play a role in
keeping it strong, secure, and resilient against evolving threats. The
critical infrastructure industry is volatile and vulnerable to
cyberattacks more than ever before, which is why we are dedicated to
equipping these companies with cyber readiness solutions that provide
true-to-life virtual scenario cyber team training,” said Michael Moniz,
Co-Founder and CEO of Circadence. “We are passionate about helping every
critical industry sector, every state and every city learn to
successfully mitigate cyber risk—and they can do so with our inCyt^™,
CyRaaS^™ and Project Ares solutions.”
