In February 2025, the FBI inaugurated the Kinetic Cyber Range in Huntsville, Alabama, designed to simulate a fully functional small American town. This facility includes various buildings such as homes, a hospital, and a data center with over 200 servers, providing a realistic environment for training in cyberattack scenarios.
More than 1,400 participants, including federal agents and partners, have completed training focused on real-time responses to cyber threats. The center allows for immersive simulations of ransomware attacks, enhancing decision-making under pressure. The digital forensics component trains agents to analyze encrypted data, making the Kinetic Cyber Range a comprehensive resource in combating cybercrime.
