Cyberbit and Kite Bringing Cyber Readiness to the UK and Ireland
In September 2025, Cyberbit acquired RangeForce, uniting two Forrester-recognised cloud-based cyber range platforms for hyper-realistic attack simulation, SOC team readiness, and capability-building.
However advanced security tools get, the human element is still the deciding factor. An organisation’s most impactful security asset is its team. But SOC teams continue to struggle to find experienced, skilled talent, because only real-world experience builds effective defenders. Add tightening budgets and shrinking time, and gaps start to appear.
The combined platform gives defenders access to more than 25 enterprise-grade technologies and delivers one of the most realistic, AI-powered cyber readiness experiences available. Paired with full attack simulations on real tools, against real threats, in real environments, the platform gives SOC teams a clear and measurable path to team performance and readiness.
A great night on the deck
On Wednesday, June 3, Cyberbit joined Kite and Cyber House Party aboard the Sunborn London Yacht for the CyBeer Infosec Aftershow, one of Kite’s biggest events of the year. The turnout for this event was our best yet, with Cyber House Party returning for a second year and raising money for the NSPCC and the Cyber Helpline.
For Cyberbit, the day was a chance to do what readiness work is really about: spend time with the practitioners and leaders who carry the operational load every day and have honest conversations about what it actually takes to keep a SOC team sharp. Elliot Coles and Scott Flower represented Cyberbit on the deck and came away with a long list of follow-ups, and a clear sense that the appetite for a different conversation about team readiness, beyond training for its own sake, is growing.
“Events like CyBeer are where readiness stops being an abstract concept and starts being a conversation about real teams, real attacks, and real constraints. Kite created the kind of environment where those conversations actually happen, and the quality of the people on board reflected the trust they have built across the UK channel. We are excited about what comes next with the Kite team,” said Elliot Coles, UK Sales Director at Cyberbit.
