Security Simulation for Vulnerability Assessment

This discusses simulation technologies developed to "stimulate" an operational command and control security system. Herein, we discuss simulation techniques used to create a virtual model of a facility in which to conduct vulnerability assessment exercises, performance benchmarking, concept of operations (CONOPS) development and operator training. This discusses specific techniques used for creating a 3d virtual environment and simulating streaming IP surveillance cameras and motion detection sensors. In addition, we discuss advanced scenario creation techniques and the modelling of scenario entities, including vehicles, aircraft and personnel. This draws parallels with lessons learned in using air traffic control simulators for operator training, incident recreation, procedure development, and pre-acquisition planning and testing.
