What does it look like when a university brings enterprise-grade cybersecurity experience directly to campus?

Full Sail University partnered with IBM, AWS, and Cloud Range to create the Full Sail University IBM Cyber Defense Range powered by AWS and Cloud Range, giving students an immersive environment where they can put cybersecurity knowledge into practice.

The range connects classroom instruction with hands-on experience in realistic enterprise and cloud environments. Students can practice defending networks, responding to cyber incidents, analyzing malware, threat hunting, and working through live cyberattacks without putting production systems at risk.

In this video, leaders from Full Sail University, IBM, AWS, and Cloud Range discuss the collaboration and the importance of giving students practical experience before they enter the cybersecurity workforce. The facility brings together IBM's Cyber Campus approach, AWS cloud infrastructure, and Cloud Range's cyber range and simulation platform to create an experiential learning environment designed around the skills students will need on the job.

For Full Sail, the Cyber Defense Range is about more than adding new technology to its cybersecurity programs. It creates opportunities for students to develop technical skills, critical thinking, collaboration, and familiarity with the tools and situations they'll encounter as cybersecurity professionals.
