  • A customised replica of your network with licensed versions of real SOC tools.
  • 1,500+ hands-on labs and team exercises, plus simulation-supported tabletop exercises.

Limits

KnowBe4

Strengths

  • Built for every employee: awareness training and simulated phishing with 1,000+ modules, videos and games.
  • A free Cybersecurity Awareness Month kit for October 2026, including four tabletop exercise documents.
  • Published per-seat pricing for two awareness tiers, from $1.63 to $3.75 per seat per month on a 3-year term.

Limits

  • Not incident response training: no range, no technical labs and no crisis simulation platform.
  • Published prices assume a 3-year term and stop at 1,000 seats; larger organisations get a quote.

Which one fits which team?

Look at Cloud Range if your SOC needs live-fire practice on a replica of your own network and tools, or if you train teams that defend OT/ICS as well as IT. Look at KnowBe4 if your gap is employees clicking on or not reporting phishing, or if you need training that reaches every employee.
