The cybersecurity industry faces a historic workforce challenge. The global cybersecurity workforce gap exceeds 4.8 million unfilled positions, with roughly 67% of organizations actively reporting severe staffing shortages. (StationX, May, 2026) With cybersecurity jobs projected to grow 33% this decade, colleges and universities must evolve rapidly to prepare the next generation of defenders.
IBM Cyber Campus, powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and platformed by Cloud Range and Cyviz, addresses the challenge. This cloud-powered solution combines the cybersecurity expertise of IBM with the global cloud infrastructure of AWS to deliver scalable, immersive cyber training experiences that mirror the pace and complexity of real-world defense.
Cybersecurity education that meets workforce realities
IBM and AWS, along with Cloud Range and Cyviz, share a common mission: building the cyber workforce required to secure the world’s critical systems. This collaboration brings together IBM’s decades of leadership in cybersecurity innovation with AWS infrastructure agility and reach.
The IBM Cyber Campus uses the AWS secure, elastic cloud infrastructure to enable institutions to deploy fully operational security operations center (SOC) training environments without costly hardware investments. In partnership with Cloud Range and Cyviz, IBM delivers an immersive, cloud-enabled learning experience that combines real-world incident response simulations, analytics-driven learning paths, and collaborative visualization environments aligned with NICE and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) frameworks. This education-to-workforce model establishes a training ground for advanced cybersecurity education, equipping students with hands-on experience defending live cyberattacks and accelerating the development of a skilled, job-ready cybersecurity talent pipeline.
