Each project will be presenting current progress, best practices, and technical insights together with a practical demonstration of the respective cyber ranges as virtual training environments and how they can be used to simulate cyber incidents and attacks so IT professionals can hone their skills and prepare for real-world circumstances.

Finally, a panel discussion will look at how Europe is bringing together different initiatives with the aim of tackling the cybersecurity skills gap and how R&I projects can play an active role in producing practical tools and services to address it quickly and comprehensively.
