Cyberbit, a global leader in hyper-realistic attack simulation cyber ranges and Security Operations Center (SOC) readiness, announced the acquisition of RangeForce, a pioneer in cloud-based cyber ranges and scalable solo and team training exercises. Headquartered in the United States, the combined company now delivers one of the world’s most advanced operational cyber readiness platforms powered by AI, grounded in realism, and designed to prepare teams for today’s relentless cyber threats. This strategic acquisition reinforces Cyberbit’s commitment to enhancing the capabilities of cybersecurity professionals who defend organizations against sophisticated attacks.
Two Leaders, One Vision
Cyberbit’s hyper-realistic attack simulations have set the industry standard for testing and strengthening SOC performance under real-world conditions. RangeForce has built a strong reputation for adaptive, scalable upskilling and cloud-based cyber ranges for both individual learners and teams. Both companies have earned recognition in the “Forrester Wave™: Cybersecurity Skills & Training Platforms,” with Cyberbit named a Leader and RangeForce recognized as a Strong Performer.
“By joining forces, the companies create a seamless readiness journey, from entry-level analysts building skills and experience to advanced defenders confronting the most sophisticated cyber-attacks,” said Brian Pierce, CEO at Cyberbit.
“Cyberbit’s acquisition of RangeForce represents a significant leap forward in how organizations can prepare their teams for the realities of today’s cyber threat landscape,” said Darren Battistoni, Managing Director and Co-Head of Technology Opportunities at Charlesbank Capital Partners, Cyberbit’s financial sponsor. “By uniting two of the industry’s leading cyber ranges, we believe customers can now gain access to an unprecedented breadth of content and highly realistic training experiences built around the same tools and environments they use every day.”

AI at the Core
RangeForce’s adaptive, AI-powered tutor delivers personalized learning paths, while its AI-driven content engine accelerates the development of cutting-edge scenarios. The platform continuously evolves to address emerging threats, creating a living SOC readiness library for organizations of all sizes.
“Cyberbit and RangeForce bring together two organizations deeply passionate about cybersecurity defender readiness,” said David Etue, CEO of RangeForce. “The combined company’s capabilities, paired with our recent advances in AI, position us to deliver experiences that ensure SOC and IR teams are prepared for sophisticated cyber-attacks.”
As cyber adversaries become more aggressive and boards demand proof of resilience, organizations can no longer afford to discover security gaps only after a breach occurs. The combined platform spans from the SOC to the boardroom, offering AI-led, data-driven, hyper-realistic simulations that security leaders can rely on.
“This is the solution for CISOs who want to move past assumptions and truly understand their teams’ capabilities, and for the CISOs who refuse to discover gaps only after the damage is done,” said Pierce.
Expanded Value for Customers
The acquisition strengthens the Live-Fire Exercises catalog, expands the joint content library, enhances AI capabilities and user experience, and broadens coverage for commercial, enterprise, and government sectors. With dedicated teams and strategic data centers across the US and EU, the combined company offers compliance-ready simulations and proven resilience under the most realistic conditions.
Together, Cyberbit and RangeForce establish a new benchmark in cybersecurity readiness.
“Cyberbit and RangeForce joining forces marks a major milestone in cybersecurity readiness. As a partner to both companies, Carahsoft is thrilled to see this powerful combination come together with their vision to deliver this comprehensive, AI-powered readiness platform for SOC and IR teams,” said Alex Whitworth, Cybersecurity Solutions Vertical Executive at Carahsoft Technology Corp. “This collaboration enhances Carahsoft’s ability to provide innovative, integrated solutions, enabling the Public Sector and enterprises across the U.S. to strengthen their defenses against today’s most persistent and sophisticated adversaries.”
