Abstract

An apparatus features processor(s) and a non-transitory storage medium including an intelligent-adversary simulator and a formatting modules. The simulator calculates path(s) of least resistance for a cyber threat in a cyber-attack scenario to compromise 1) a first virtualized instance (source device), 2) a second virtualized instance (targeted device), and 3) virtualized instances of components of a virtualized instance of a network associated with selected pathways of the cyber-attack scenario through the virtualized instance of the network. The virtualized instances may be based on historical knowledge of connectivity and behaviour patterns of users and devices within an actual network under analysis. The formatting module generates a report with identified devices that are communicatively coupled to the virtualized instance of the network and prioritized to allocate security resources. The simulator calculates the least resistance path(s) through the virtualized instance of the network and refrains from calculating every theoretically path therefrom.
