Abstract

A system and method of security assessment of a network is described. The system may include one or more security assessment computers controlled by a security assessor, and connected to a network, and first executable program code for acting as an agent on a first end device on the network. The first executable program code is configured to be executed by a browser application of the first end device, and is configured to initiate a simulation by requesting information from at least a first security assessment computer of the one or more security assessment computers.
