Advanced Cyber Threat Intelligence and Vulnerability Analysis Training Environment (ACTIVATE)

Knowledge Based Systems, Inc. (KBSI) will design and demonstrate an Advanced Cyber Threat Intelligence and Vulnerability Analysis Training Environment (ACTIVATE) framework that directly targets the need for advanced cyber network defense training. The proposed new enabling capability will support cyber training against an intelligent red team to enhance cyber operator trainee cyber-attack recognition and recovery. ACTIVATE will provide the defense training community with a novel, adaptive, intelligent, and user-configurable framework for sensitizing and training cyber network defender skills and competencies. Building off the Phase I innovation, the Phase II project will extend the ACTIVATE methods and tools leading to a hardened, focused, and transition-ready ACTIVATE capability to significantly train cyber defenders with enhanced situational awareness and decision making capabilities.
