Intelligent Cyber Threat Emulator (InCyTE)

Current Army training capacity lacks the capability to fully represent an automated cyber Opposing Force (OPFOR) that can both initiate a cyber attack and subsequently react and adapt its plan of attack based on trainee’s defense and recovery decisions. There is an urgent need to develop an innovative solution for cyber OPFOR emulation that can integrate with various training environments, conduct offensive and defensive CyberOps against Blue Force (BLUFOR), and allow trainees to effectively practice detection, response, and recovery processes to cyber attacks. To address this need, Intelligent Automation, Inc. (IAI) an automated Intelligent Cyber Threat Emulator (InCyTE), a cyber adversary emulator, powered by a deep learning engine, that can generate and emulate a wide variety of cyber attacks and threats (e.g. malware, network and insider threats, Advanced Persistent Threats, and etc.) into any type of network environment and intelligently respond and defend against the recovery and countermeasures undertaken by trainees. The ultimate goal is provide broad capabilities for configuring and executing automated cyber adversary actions, generating and injecting cyberspace attacks and exploits, intelligently adapting and reevaluating its attack plans based on current state of the hosts, network environment, and evaluating cyber operator performance.
