Summary
Last year, the FBI opened a Cyber Range in Huntsville, Alabama, for simulating cyberattacks. It’s a training facility where the bureau can recreate real-world scenarios for training and research purposes. Students practice performing forensic investigations on car entertainment systems, hospital computer networks, and corporate security systems.
