Commvault and SimSpace launch Cyber Recovery Range to practice incident lifecycle
Commvault Recovery Range is the first hands-on cyber range that will enable defenders to battle sophisticated cyber threats and real-world attacks while also equipping them with the skills required to navigate and rapidly recover from cyber crises.
Traditional cyber ranges focus on detecting and containing attacks, leaving response and recovery scenarios outside of their scope. Commvault Recovery Range goes much farther in a setting that models the defender’ s own production environment.
Utilising SimSpace’ s award-winning cyber range platform and Commvault’ s exceptional recovery offerings, Commvault Recovery Range will provide an immersive learning experience where defenders can practice the entire end-to-end incident lifecycle, from detection through validated cleanpoint recovery.

every 14 seconds, and the average downtime from an attack can span upwards of 24 days – costing enterprises millions of dollars in lost revenue, reputational damage, and operational disruption.
Preparation that starts with the attack and ends with a rapid, clean recovery can make all the difference in reducing downtime and helping organisations run in a state of continuous business.
“ Together with SimSpace, we are offering companies something that’ s truly unique in the market – the physical, emotional, and psychological experience of a real-world cyberattack and the harrowing challenges often experienced in attempting to rapidly recover,” said Bill O’ Connell, Chief Security Officer, Commvault.
“ In combining SimSpace’ s authentic cyberattack simulations with Commvault’ s leading cyber recovery capabilities, we’ re giving companies the ability to strengthen their security posture, cyber readiness, and business resilience.”
“ In an era of relentless cyber threats, we created SimSpace to give security and IT professionals an authentic, hands-on understanding of how attacks unfold in the most realistic environments possible,” said William Hutchison, CEO of SimSpace.
“ Our partnership with Commvault, takes the experience to the next level – by integrating the critical recovery component, we are delivering a complete cyber preparedness lifecycle that helps organisations minimise downtime and prevent devastating losses.”
With Commvault Recovery Range, defenders will experience: Hands-on attack simulations: Defenders step into a hyper-realistic environment that mirrors their actual networks, infrastructure, and day-to-day operations – complete with simulated users logging in and out, sending emails, and interacting with applications. During this high-fidelity experience, defenders face sophisticated attacks, like Netwalker, that can be challenging to detect. They are forced to make decisions and execute strategic responses under pressure as the clock is ticking. Real-world recovery exercises: Unlike other cyber ranges, users will face no-win recovery scenarios and learn the hard way the importance of validating backups, cleaning infected data, and executing swift restorations. Recovery exercises include using Commvault Cloud for threat scanning, Air Gap Protect for immutable storage, Cleanroom Recovery for ondemand recovery testing, and Cloud Rewind to automatically rebuild cloud-native applications – so defenders can recover their business rapidly, without reinfecting it.
