Abstract
An example method includes storing a scenario event list that defines one or more events associated with a training exercise, and configuring, based on the events defined in the scenario event list, one or more software agents to emulate one or more cyber-attacks against a host computing system during the training exercise, which includes configuring the software agents to save a state of one or more resources of the host computing system prior to emulating the cyber-attacks and to restore the state of the resources upon conclusion of the cyber-attacks. The example method further includes deploying the software agents for execution on the host computing system during the training exercise to emulate the cyber-attacks against the host computing system using one or more operational networks.
