Abstract: An automated sandbox generator for a cyber-attack exercise on a mimic network in a cloud environment can include various components. The cloud deployment component deploys the mimic network in a sandbox environment in the cloud environment. The mimic network can be a clone of components from a network that exists in an organization's environment and/or, predefined example components. The attack engine deploys a cyber threat to use an exploit for the wargaming cyber-attack exercise in the mimic network. The user interface displays, in real time, results of the wargaming cyber-attack exercise being conducted in the sandbox environment, to create a behavioral profile of how the cyber threat using the exploit would actually perform in that particular organization's environment as well as have human users interact with the cyber threat deployed by the attack engine during the cyber-attack on the mimic network, as it happens in real time, during the wargaming cyber-attack exercise.
