“…Torres ve ark. [16], kablolu ve kablosuz tam ölçekli taktiksel sanal ağlarda siber saldırı ve güvenlik yöntemlerinin test ve analizini yapabilen, önceden yapılmış ilgili bazı çalışmalar üzerine kurulu yeni bir simülasyon ortam modeli sunmaktadır. Geliştirilen model ile bir dizi siber saldırı yapılarak belli bir sanal ağ mimarisinin esneklik ve sağlamlığı test edilebilmektedir.…”

Bilişim ve ağ teknolojilerindeki hızlı ilerleme, hem bireyler için hem de kurumsal işleyişin her alanında bu teknolojileri vazgeçilmez birer araç haline getirmiştir. Bu gelişme ile oluşan bu zorunlu durum, beraberinde risk ve tehditleri de getirmiştir. Siber saldırılara karşı, pek çok saldırı tespit ve engelleme sistemleri geliştirilmesine rağmen zafiyet ihlalleri de artmaktadır. Bu çalışma ile güvenlik zafiyetlerinin belirlenmesi ve siber saldırıların tespit edilmesi için yazılım tabanlı bir araç geliştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Test zamanını ve maliyetleri düşürmek için gerçek sistemler yerine sanal ağlarda saldırı simülasyon deneyleri yapmanın etkili sonuçlarına örnek uygulamalarla ulaşılmıştır. Bir vaka çalışması olarak, belirli saldırı senaryoları için DEVS formalizmine dayalı bir siber saldırı simülasyon modeli ve uygulaması açık kaynak kodlu olarak geliştirilmiştir. Bu araç, sonraki çalışmalarda daha farklı siber-saldırı senaryolarının modellenmesi ve simülasyonu için uygun bir altyapı sağlamaktadır.

“…Van Leeuwen et al developed a cyber security analysis and experimentation environment for the study of network information systems and communication networks [19]. Torres et al presents a new simulation environment model based on some previous studies that can test and analyse cyber-attack and security methods in wired and wireless full-scale tactical virtual networks [20]. Some researchers have designed a simulation model for the development of testing and experimentation of network systems in cyberspace [21].…”

The necessity of conducting business processes of institutions and individuals with information technologies has brought risks and threats. Cyber-attacks may lead to hard-to-recover results. Although many security systems have been developed against to these attacks, attacks and security breaches of information systems are increasing rapidly. In this study, it is aimed to understand the security weaknesses and vulnerabilities, which is one of the most important issues at the point of providing cyber security, and to detect cyber-attacks. Using physical networks to test cyber-attack methods is a very costly and time consuming process. In this paper, as a different method, a cyber-attack simulation model has been developed using the DEVS modelling approach to simulate and test cyber-attack scenarios and evaluate the results. An application has been developed that simulates an attack scenario in a virtual network and evaluates detector alerts by generating appropriate intrusion detection system signals. The DEVS-Suite simulation environment was used as a development environment. Comparisons were made with different cyber-attack simulation applications and their differences were revealed.

“…Despite the cyber-friendly features such as computer enforced agreements, TENA is not prepared to accommodate cybersecurity simulation. TENA per se is a competitive architecture with LVC interoperability, though there has been a limited number of contributions for simulation models to process cyber-specific events and interactions so far [2], [17]- [19]. In the long run, cybersecurity models can be developed and deployed for TENA, but it is premature to substantialize fully functional LVC interoperable cybersecurity simulation in the TENA architecture.…”

Cybersecurity simulation is a useful, practical approach to provide insights to counter cyber threats for organizations with a large-scale, complex cyber environment. From the micro behavior of malware on a host to the macroscopic impact of a DDoS attack, various phenomena can be observed and analyzed with simulation scenarios. Many platforms for cybersecurity simulation have been developed to support simulation scenarios and models with different fidelity levels: live, virtual, and constructive. Many platforms for cybersecurity simulation have been developed to support simulation scenarios and models with varying fidelity levels: live, virtual, and constructive. Hence, the support of interoperability between models with different fidelities remained untrodden in the cybersecurity simulation literature. In this paper, we propose a novel cybersecurity simulation platform, Cy-Through, which enables full interoperability between models with different fidelity levels, live/virtual and constructive models. Through the development and demonstration of a prototype of the platform, we prove the possibility of a Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC)-interoperable cybersecurity simulation.
