CWD Tools for Improving Cyber Simulations

Download the open source software tools that the SEI developed to create realistic cyber simulations or access information to learn more about each one.

Abstract

The SEI develops open source software tools to create secure and realistic cyber simulations. This collection makes these tools available for download and groups the software with supporting materials that describe the benefits an organization can gain from using them. Some of these features and benefits include a realistic simulated Internet, realistic network traffic, and convincing and lifelike behavior of host systems. These tools can help organizations save time and money in the development and deployment of training exercises, and participants will be more engaged in cyber exercises thanks to the heightened realism that the tools deliver. Because these tools recreate the real world and make training exercises more realistic, exercise participants can gain experience that will help them reach elite levels of performance.
