Abstract Cyber ranges gained great importance in cybersecurity training in the last years and it is still playing a role of paramount importance, thanks to its ability to give hands-on experience to trainees on real-world exercises. This paper presents the motivation and objective of the AERAS project, including a thorough analysis of data coming from ad-hoc interviews and surveys specifically designed and administered for the project's goals. AERAS aims to apply the cyber range concept to the critical Healthcare sector. The AERAS platform will be a virtual cyberwarfare solution enabling the simulation of the operation and effects of security controls and offering hands-on training on their development, assessment, use and management.
