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 13):
A method comprising:\n (a) identifying, by a device, an attack sequence comprising a first attack and a second attack and one or more conditions upon which to execute the second attack responsive to the first attack; (b) communicating, by the device based on at least on a first specification of the first attack, instructions to a first node and a second node to initiate a first malicious behavior via a first path selected between the first node and the first node; (c) monitoring, by the device, execution of the first attack between the first node and the first node to detect the one or more conditions comprising one of failure or success of the first attack; and (d) communicating, by the device based on at least on a second specification of the second attack, instructions to a third node and a fourth node to initiate a second malicious behavior via a second path selected between the third node and the fourth node, wherein the second attack is initiated responsive to detecting the one or more conditions.
