Cyberbit

Cyberbit provides a cyber range platform that immerses security teams in a full-scale, emulated Security Operations Center — including simulated HMIs, hardware controllers (PLCs), and IT/OT network segments — so analysts can practice defending against live, reverse-engineered cyberattacks using real commercial tools from vendors like Splunk, Palo Alto Networks, and Check Point. Alongside training, it offers a detection-and-response product aimed at protecting the combined attack surface of IT, OT, and IoT networks, addressing the reality that industrial and enterprise networks are increasingly interconnected.

Founded in 2015 as a spin-off from Israeli defense contractor Elbit Systems, Cyberbit received a $70 million investment from Charlesbank Capital Partners in 2020, and Elbit fully divested its remaining stake in 2023, leaving Charlesbank as the controlling owner. In September 2025 Cyberbit acquired RangeForce, consolidating two competing cyber-range and training providers under one brand. In June 2026, however, the company closed its original Ra’anana, Israel office and laid off its local workforce, shifting its operational center of gravity toward its U.S. and European offices.

Cyberbit’s cyber range platform was named a Leader in the Forrester Wave for cyber range/training platforms in 2023, a credible independent evaluation. The 2026 Israel shutdown, following closely on the RangeForce acquisition, is a mixed signal — consistent with real inorganic growth but also with cost-driven restructuring under private-equity ownership.
