The SPIDER concept: A Cyber Range as a Service platform

The evolving cyber security threat landscape along with the extensive application of the 5G technology in various sectors brings together several cyber security concerns. To that extent, there is an apparent need for appropriate testing and training before the massive commercial deployment of 5G. The SPIDER platform proposes an innovative Cyber Range as a Service (CRaaS) platform that extends and combines the capabilities of existing telecommunication testbeds and cyber ranges into a unified facility for (i) testing new security technologies, (ii) training modern cyber defenders in near real-world conditions, and (iii) supporting organizations and relevant stakeholders in making optimal cybersecurity investment decisions
