Your team's first real attack shouldn't be their first attack.
Hoplon runs your security team through live-fire cyber attacks on a realistic, fully isolated cyber range, with role-based exercises for every skill level. Your analysts build genuine response experience in a safe environment, so they are ready the day a real incident finally hits.

Six ways to put your team under real pressure.
Put your SOC and CSIRT teams through dynamic, real-world attack scenarios on Hoplon's industry-leading cyber range. They rehearse detection, response, and recovery against live threats in a controlled environment, so the first time they face an attack for real, it is not actually the first time.
Blue Team Exercises
Blue team simulations put your defenders in the cyber range together, with multiple analysts and roles working a single live-fire attack at once. Your team learns to detect, respond to, and remediate a real incident as one coordinated unit, not as isolated individuals.
- Detection
- Response
- Remediation
Red Team Exercises
Red team exercises let your offensive specialists sharpen their craft inside a realistic, fully instrumented network of live operating systems, firewalls, applications, and sensors. They probe for weaknesses safely, surfacing the gaps a genuine attacker would exploit before a real one ever does.
- Offensive
- Recon
- Exploitation
Red Team vs. Blue Team
Red versus blue exercises pit your attackers and defenders against each other in a live-fire simulation on a dynamic cyber range. Both sides test their skills under genuine pressure, and your whole team walks away understanding exactly how an attack unfolds and how to stop it.
- Live-fire
- Head-to-head
- Tactics
Purple Team Exercises
Purple team exercises bring your attackers and defenders into the same room to walk through each move together and close the gap between offense and defense. Your monitoring improves immediately, because defenders learn the patterns an attack leaves behind and know what to watch for.
- Collaboration
- Monitoring
- Detection logic
Capture the Flag
In a capture-the-flag competition, your teams race through Hoplon's cyber range using real tools and techniques to uncover hidden flags, with the most successful team taking the win. It turns skill-building into a fast, competitive event that keeps analysts engaged while they practice under pressure.
- Competitive
- Hands-on
- Tooling
Tabletop 2.0™ Exercises
Tabletop 2.0 exercises bring technical staff and non-technical leaders into the same live scenario, played out on Hoplon's cyber range from detection through recovery. Everyone sees how an incident actually unfolds, so your business, risk, and security perspectives finally line up around one shared picture.
- Leadership
- Risk
- Recovery
One workshop a year does not build muscle memory.
Our FlexRange programs give your team continuous, hands-on practice throughout the year on Hoplon's fully customizable cyber range. Instead of a single annual workshop, your analysts keep their skills sharp against fresh scenarios, so readiness becomes a habit rather than a once-a-year event.
- P1
Ongoing, not one-off
Scheduled exercises throughout the year keep skills current as the threat landscape shifts, rather than letting them decay between annual sessions.
- P2
Built around your stack
Ranges are customized to mirror your real network and tooling, so what your team learns transfers straight to the systems they defend.
- P3
Measured every time
Each exercise produces clear performance data, giving you evidence for leadership and a roadmap for what to train next.
Training that pays off long after the exercise ends.
- 01
Improve Communication & Collaboration
Running full-team simulations sharpens the soft skills that decide a real response: communication, collaboration, report-writing, and fast decisions under pressure. The better your people work together in the range, the faster and cleaner their response will be when a genuine incident is on the line.
- 02
Train Remotely or On-Premises
Run exercises wherever your team is, whether they are together in one office or spread across home setups and time zones. Everyone trains on the same cloud-based cyber range, so distributed teams get identical, high-fidelity practice without anyone needing to travel.
- 03
Be Ready for OT Incident Response
Practice defending the operational technology behind industrial and critical-infrastructure systems, not just standard IT networks. Your team rehearses OT-specific attacks safely, learning how these specialized environments break and how to respond before a real incident disrupts physical operations.
- 04
Practice in Customizable Environments
Train in cyber ranges built to mirror your own network and stocked with the same enterprise security tools your analysts use every day. Practice transfers directly to the job, because the environment and tooling match what your team will actually face on Monday morning.
- 05
Get Detailed Reporting
Every exercise produces clear reporting on how individuals and teams performed, where they excelled, and where the gaps remain. You get evidence to take to leadership, auditors, and your insurer, plus a concrete roadmap for the skills your next round of training should target.
What teams ask before their first session.
Never. Every scenario runs inside a fully isolated cyber range that mirrors a real network. Your team faces realistic attacks with zero risk to the systems your business actually depends on.
Yes. The range is cloud-based, so analysts join the same exercise from anywhere and get identical practice. We also run on-premises sessions when you prefer the team in one room.
From hands-on SOC analysts to incident-response leads, and from technical staff to non-technical executives in Tabletop 2.0. Formats scale from individual skill-building to full cross-functional exercises.
Detailed reporting on individual and team performance, the gaps we observed, and a recommended training path. The output is built to share with leadership, auditors, and your cyber insurer.
Consultation · No obligation
See where your team stands before an attacker does.
Book a session with a Hoplon range engineer. We will map your team's current readiness, design exercises around the threats your industry actually faces, and show you the reporting you will walk away with. You will leave with a clear plan whether or not we run your first simulation.
