Inside the FBI’s Fake Town Designed to Train Agents

The FBI has developed a realistic fake town in Alabama known as the Kinetic Cyber Range to train agents against ransomware and digital threats. This 22,000-square-foot facility features working infrastructure designed to simulate cyberattacks, which have reached record levels. By utilizing this specialized environment, the FBI ensures that agents are prepared to combat sophisticated cyber threats through hands-on experience within a controlled, physical setting that mimics real-world scenarios and critical infrastructure vulnerabilities.
