Abstract
A method for emulating threats in virtual network computing environment is provided. The method comprises creating a number of virtual machines in the virtual network computing environment. A number of threat actors are emulated, wherein each threat actor comprises a number of threat artifacts that form a sequence of attack steps against the virtual network computing environment. The threat actors are then deployed against the virtual network computing environment. Behavioral data about actions of the threat actors in the virtual network computing environment is collected, as is performance data about the virtual network computing environment in response to the threat actors. The collected behavioral and performance data is then presented to a user via an interface.
