The CyberLab is a CyberRange-like platform where multiple IT infrastructures deployments, containing many heterogeneous nodes can be build and evaluated on the long run. The CyberLab goes further than interconnecting virtual machines running on large servers. It also includes physical devices, such as IoT captors or actuators, having wireless connectivity (WiFi, LoRaWAN, Zigbee,…) with which researchers may interact.

This platform contributes, among others, to exploring the interaction between the cybersecurity and artificial intelligence, mainly when including IoT devices in the processing of “business data”.
