The current development cycle is focused on cyber range deployment. We’ve made more progress than we have work left to do, and that matters because deployment is what turns ArkOne from a cyber range design tool into a complete platform.
Why cyber range deployment matters
Right now you can describe a cyber training environment and generate the full architecture in minutes. That saves significant time compared to traditional range development, and it’s great to have a purpose built visualizer, but you still have to take the design somewhere else to actually run it.
Deployment closes the loop. Describe what you need, generate the cyber range, deploy it to real cloud infrastructure. The output isn’t a blueprint or a document, but a running training environment that behaves exactly like something you spent weeks building by hand.
Where ArkOne deployment stands
Most of the work is behind us, but the nature of this work is that every problem you solve uncovers two more you didn’t know existed. But the unknowns that kept us up at night a few months ago are now knowns, and the remaining work is execution rather than exploration.
What’s next for ArkOne
We’re targeting a July release for full end-to-end cyber range deployment. We’ll share more as we get closer, but the update is simple: deployment is possible, and we’re finishing the job.
