Abstract:
The disclosure is directed towards systems and methods for improving security in a computer network. The system can include a planner and a plurality of controllers. The controllers can be deployed within each zone of the production network. Each controller can be configured to assume the role of an attacker or a target for malicious network traffic. Simulations of malicious behavior can be performed by the controllers within the production network, and can therefore account for the complexities of the production network, such as stateful connections through switches, routers, and other intermediary devices. In some implementations, the planner can analyze data received from the controllers to provide a holistic analysis of the overall security posture of the production network.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising\n (a) identifying, by a device, a first specification of a first attack comprising a first malicious behavior, a first node and a second node between which to execute the first malicious behavior and a first path between the first node and the second node from a graphical representation of a topology of a network; (b) identifying, by the device, a second specification of a second attack comprising a second malicious behavior, a third node and a fourth node between which to execute the second malicious behavior and a second path between the third node and the fourth node from the graphical representation of the topology of the network; (c) identifying, by the device, one or more conditions upon which to execute the second attack responsive to execution of the first attack, wherein the one or more conditions comprises one of failure or success of the first attack; (d) storing, by the device, as an attack sequence, the first specification, the second specification and the one or more conditions; and (e) selecting, by the device, the attack sequence to initiate a controlled execution of the attack sequence to test security of at least a portion of the network.
