"MSU, Circadence Partner to Create Virtual Cyber Defense Tool"

Researchers at Mississipi State's Center for Cyber Innovation, in collaboration with the cyber readiness company Circadence Corporation are developing a virtual cyber defense tool aimed at bolstering the protection of the nation's most critical assets. They are developing cyber learning and training software that would give information technology personnel the skills and mechanisms necessary to defend against complex attack vectors. The software would also be capable of scanning and mapping the military's complex computer network infrastructures. An existing MSU-designed Netmapper is being customized by the researchers to develop the software. Data from the generation of a network map will be used to create a representation of that network for a cyber range in which information technology personnel can be trained. This article continues to discuss the MSU-Circadence partnership in support of creating advanced virtual cyberattack defenses, the advantages of this partnership, and the functions of the Netmapper/Cyber Range Automation Framework.
