Cyber lab / digital twin
Rebuild the site you need to test. Change a zone, a firewall rule, or a protocol path, then repeat the same scenario against the replica.
Hybrid OT cyber range
Simulate the plant. Connect the hardware. Test them together.
Simetra is a hybrid OT cyber range: a digital twin of industrial systems that can also attach real devices. Teams validate architecture, run attack scenarios, and investigate incidents across simulated and physical assets — without exposing production.
The challenge
Industrial systems cannot be safely tested like traditional IT.
Industrial environments are built for continuous operation. A small disruption can have operational, financial, or safety consequences. Penetration testing and security validation often cannot be performed directly on production.
As threats evolve, teams need a realistic place to validate behavior, find weaknesses, and prepare for incidents — before those incidents reach critical operations.
What is a cyber range?
A safe replica of the systems you cannot take offline.
A cyber range is an environment that recreates IT or OT infrastructure — in full or in part — so teams can train, test, and validate under attack without putting a live plant at risk. Simetra is built for operational technology: control networks, PLCs, protocols, and the process they drive.
Validation and investigation
Prove architecture and controls before go-live. Import operational and network logs, reconstruct events, and follow the attack path with evidence.
Hybrid combined tests
Keep part of the world virtual and plug real PLCs, switches, or field devices into the same range. One scenario, both sides.
Hybrid platform
Simulation is not the limit. Hardware can join the test.
A model is fast to change. Real firmware, vendor stacks, and I/O timing are not. Simetra connects both: the virtual plant and a slice of the physical world, on one isolated fabric.
Simulate
OT networks, SCADA, virtual PLCs, and process behavior — including Siemens-style PLC environments and Modbus communications.
Connect
Bring a real controller, switch, radio, or skid into the range. The simulated side talks to hardware the same way a plant would.
Combine
Run an attack or a change that crosses virtual zones and physical devices. See where the path stops — or does not.
Keep production out
Physical gear in the range is test gear. Live units, live safety systems, and the operating plant stay disconnected.
One test fabric
Virtual assets and physical assets on the same range.
The gateway is the join — not a jump to production. Combined tests move across both sides while the live plant stays out of scope.

How a test runs
Actions, components, and the loop.
Create and configure the replica. Connect hardware only when the model cannot stand in. Run, observe, analyze — then change a control and repeat the same scenario.
Core capabilities
What the range is for.
Simetra combines industrial simulation, hybrid connection, cybersecurity validation, and incident analysis. It is the environment in which those activities can be done safely — not a scanner, GRC tool, or production SOC platform.
OT environment simulation
Recreate OT networks, assets, and workflows. Protocol customization where the site requires it.
Hybrid hardware connection
Attach real PLCs, network equipment, and field devices so tests include firmware and I/O the model cannot fake.
Native SCADA environment
A built-in SCADA layer interacts with simulated and connected devices without the customer’s production HMI.
Cyberattack simulation
External intrusion, insider threat, lateral movement, and multi-stage chains — against the replica, not the plant.
Security and architecture validation
Exercise controls and zone designs that are too risky to prove in production. Change a control, repeat the scenario.
Incident investigation
Bring operational and network logs into the simulation to reconstruct events and evaluate mitigation.
