Objective: The objective of this research is to identify the components of cyber range in the cyber warfare game system, such that a comprehensive and effective educational environment is created, and the level of cybersecurity in organizations, especially the cyber warfare game system of the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran, can be enhanced.
Method: The research method in this study is mixed, including qualitative and quantitative analysis. Qualitative data is extracted and analyzed from interviews and documents using content analysis and MAXQDA software. Quantitative data is statistically analyzed using questionnaires and SPSS software. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to increase the reliability of measurement tools. The research process includes categorization, refinement, and descriptive and inferential analysis of data to ultimately achieve results aligned with the research objectives and provide a framework for developing new cyber range educational models.
Findings: The findings of this research showed that each of the dimensions of required infrastructure, scenario and content, human resources, and evaluation and analysis are the most important components and indicators of cyber range in the cyber warfare game system.
Results: The results show that the use of cyber ranges not only provides practical training in directly confronting security threats, but also strengthens the cooperation and interaction of team members and helps improve defensive strategies. This can have a significant impact on increasing the resilience and security of cyberspace.
