In this forward-thinking session, we explored the emerging frontier of preemptive cybersecurity, where technologies like automated threat exposure management, advanced cyber deception and high-fidelity cyber ranges are redefining what modern security looks like. Attendees saw firsthand how leading organizations are evolving from static defenses to dynamic war rooms, using predictive intelligence and simulated "what-if" attacks to stay ahead of emerging threats.

At the heart of this transformation is the cyber range—a digital twin of your live environment that enables teams, tools, and processes to train and adapt in the face of real-world attack simulations. As the discussion highlighted, this isn’t just a training tool—it’s a strategic platform for validating security investments, streamlining workflows and accelerating cyber readiness at scale.

Key takeaways from the session included how organizations are using cyber ranges to:

• Identify significantly more threat scenarios than traditional tabletop exercises

• Improve detection accuracy while reducing false positives

• Consolidate redundant tools into a self-financing, unified platform
