Cyber ranges and security testbeds: Scenarios, functions, tools and architecture

“…In this section, first, we discuss the cyber security scenario lifecycle management. It involves creating, generating, editing, deploying and executing a cyber security scenario.The following work [78,72,108,39,121,45,54,4] have specialized components in their architecture to create and edit cyber security scenarios. They mostly have a designer dashboard in which different components of a scenario are presented, and can be used to develop new scenarios.…”

“…The scenarios are created mostly in a human and machine readable language like XML and JSON, which is then executed on a compiler to deploy the scenario. The works presented in the these papers [111,39,50,54,108,72] included special scenario deployment component which is responsible for deploying network resources, like routers and firewalls, and relevant applications, like vulnerable software. For scenario execution, [42,88,4,75,34] have module that can control the scenario flow, like start, stop and pause scenario execution.…”

“…In this section we will discuss the learning and tutoring component, the after action analysis mechanism and scoring techniques present in different cyber ranges and security testbeds. Authors in [54,34,106,117] have a tutoring or learning management system present in their functional architecture. These tutoring systems mainly consists of text, images and multimedia clips.…”
