Abstract: The disclosure is directed towards systems and methods for improving security in a computer network. The system can include a planner and a plurality of controllers. The controllers can be deployed within each zone of the production network. Each controller can be configured to assume the role of an attacker or a target for malicious network traffic. Simulations of malicious behavior can be performed by the controllers within the production network, and can therefore account for the complexities of the production network, such as stateful connections through switches, routers, and other intermediary devices. In some implementations, the planner can analyze data received from the controllers to provide a holistic analysis of the overall security posture of the production network.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a system for testing known bad destinations while in a production network. The system can include a source controller and a destination controller in a production network. The source controller and the destination controller can have a configuration of a predetermined set of one or more known bad external destinations to test a security control device of the production network intermediary to the source controller and the destination controller. The source controller can be configured to communicate test traffic generated to a known bad external destination. The test traffic can pass through the security control device with a network identifier of the known bad external destination. The destination controller can be configured to receive the test traffic forwarded by a network device of the production network.
