Companies on the 2024 Inc. 5000 Regionals: Southeast list had an average growth rate of 166.43%
Cloud Range, the industry’s leading cyber range solution to reduce exposure to cyber risk across the organization, today announced that it has been ranked No. 44 on the fourth annual Inc. 5000 Regionals: Southeast list due to its 411% revenue growth over the last two years. The list is the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing Southeast private companies based in South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, and Puerto Rico. Born of the annual Inc. 5000 franchise, this regional list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the Southeast economy’s most dynamic segment– its independent small businesses.
“It’s such an honor to be ranked on the Inc. 5000 Regionals: Southeast list,” said Cloud Range’s CEO, Debbie Gordon. “This achievement reflects our growth and commitment to addressing the cybersecurity skills gap and providing innovative cyber range simulation training solutions. Our team’s hard work has been key to our success and we look forward to continuing to contribute and improve the cybersecurity industry, ultimately making organizations more resilient.”
According to “The Life and Times of Cybersecurity Professionals Volume VI,” a 2023 research report by ESG and ISSA, 71% of organizations claim to be impacted by the cybersecurity skills shortage. With an acute shortage of cybersecurity professionals worldwide, organizations are challenged to find, hire, and retain experienced cyber defenders. Traditional education and certifications are not enough, and “on-the-job training” is not an option during cyber attacks. Cloud Range accelerates experience with a full suite of immersive training and simulation exercises, including hands-on labs, assessments and real-world, live-fire cyber attack detection, remediation, and incident response. Just as pilots must train in a flight simulator, Cloud Range uses simulation exercises to improve technical proficiencies and soft skills and reduce the organization’s risk.
