Norwegian Cyber Range is an arena for training and rehearsal within cybersecurity. In Norwegian Cyber Range users and systems will be exposed to real-life incidents in a safe environment.

Society’s vulnerabilities for cyber threats are increasing. The need to educate and train security personnel and increase the awareness in companies and in the public is therefore large.

The CISaR (Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience) group at the department of information security and communication technology at NTNU, closely connected to SFI NORCICS, collaborates with various national and international laboratories to establish and operate a Cyber-physical Range. These include, but are not limited to, the National Smart Grid Laboratory, the Norwegian Maritime Competence Center, and the Manufacturing Lab (MANULAB).

These collaborations and development efforts are primarily driven by the group's research and innovation activities, which are made possible through funded projects. A particular sectoral focus exists within the SFI-NORCICS, and the relevant activities are consolidated in Task 3.3-Cyber Physical Range. Specifically, the current focus of the laboratory is across selected verticals, including but not limited to manufacturing, Electrical Power & Energy Systems, maritime and IoT.

The hardware reverse engineering (HRE) lab at NTNU Gjøvik is being established to address future hardware security challenges through developing innovative methods, tools, and techniques in collaboration with industries, government, and international research institutions. The HRE lab has successfully acquired basic testing equipment, including chip whisper kits, oscilloscopes, power supplies, logic analysers, soldering stations, etc. A list of equipment with their application is enclosed as Annexure-1. The lab has been actively exploring hardware security vulnerabilities within intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) utilized in smart grids. Currently, two master projects are underway focusing on digital door-locking systems and drones. The lab is also involved in developing a dedicated master-level course module on hardware security for critical sector applications.

NTNU malware lab is an academic group for teaching, research, and development, and an arena for cooperation and knowledge development. The aim is to increase knowledge about malware in both the public and private sectors.

The laboratory was established in October 2016 and builds on the malware research and education at NTNU Testimon Forensics Group. Testimon Forensics Group has focused on malware since 2010 and is an active member of NTNU malware lab. Testimon has since 2010 had master's and doctoral students who focus on malware in their research.
