AI Technical Summary
Existing cyber threat protection systems fail to effectively assess how malicious cyber threats spread through a network, and existing vulnerability scanners often fail to effectively address the challenges of malicious cyber threats, and existing technologies such as vulnerability scanning by humans lead to inefficient security resource allocation and can compromise network devices during testing.
An intelligent-adversary simulator constructs a virtualized network graph based on real-time network data to simulate cyber-attack scenarios, identifying critical devices and calculating paths of least resistance for threat propagation, generating a report to prioritize security resource allocation.
The simulator efficiently identifies critical devices and pathways for cyber threats, allowing for targeted security resource allocation without compromising actual network devices, providing a detailed report for proactive defense strategies.
