- In 2022, the Michigan Cyber Range sunset infrastructure-based services, including exercises and sandbox environments, in order to transition to enterprise security services and cybersecurity consulting. This transition continues to build on the longevity, experience, and expertise of the Michigan Cyber Range to provide much-needed security services and applications to Michigan's educational, nonprofit, and municipal communities. The Michigan Cyber Range is a cyber range established by Merit Network in the summer of 2012 to teach cybersecurity certification courses, provide cybersecurity-related services, and develop a virtual cybersecurity training environment, known as Alphaville. Merit Network staffs and operates the Michigan Cyber Range in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The Range's infrastructure contains virtual servers placed on Merit's fiber-optic network, the largest fiber-optic network in Michigan. The harnessing of Merit’s fiber-optic network allows the Michigan Cyber Range to scale the virtual environment (Alphaville) to an unprecedented size. The Michigan Cyber Range currently has five physical locations in Michigan, on the campuses of Northern Michigan University in Marquette, Michigan, Wayne State University in Warren, Pinckney High School in Pinckney, WMCAT in Grand Rapids, and University of Michigan in Flint. On the Range, exercises such as a vast Capture the Flag with nearly 500 challenges, Paintball where teams of 5 via over control of Alphaville, and Cyber Sentinel where incident response plans and skills can be tested. These exercises are coupled with cyber security educational classes, workshops, and private secure sandboxes to round out the Michigan Cyber Range’s service offerings. Michigan Cyber Range partners include Merit Network, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Department of Energy, National Institute of Standards and Technology, DTE Energy, Consumers Energy, Plante and Moran PLLC, Juniper Networks, Eastern Michigan University, Michigan State Police, Michigan's Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, Michigan Economic Development Corporation, and the Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget.
