Case Study: Federal Government achieves enhanced cyber readiness and reduced breaches with SimSpace

Strengthening National Security: Enhancing Federal Cyber Defense with SimSpace’s Realistic Simulations

The Federal Government faced a rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape and lacked realistic, hands-on training that wouldn’t disrupt essential operations, leaving its large security teams underprepared for live attacks. To address this, the agency turned to SimSpace and its Cyber Range platform to create high-fidelity, controlled training environments that mirror real-world federal networks.

SimSpace implemented immersive, scalable live-fire exercises and detailed after-action assessments that let the Federal Government stress-test defenses (including nation-state-level scenarios), validate new tools, and prioritize improvements without operational risk. The SimSpace platform delivered measurable gains — including 30% savings in operational costs, a 40% reduction in configuration/patch-related breaches, a 45% improvement in attack defense, and a 48% faster time to detect breaches — while providing continuous training to sustain readiness.
