Automated sandbox generator for a cyber-attack exercise on a mimic network in a cloud environment

This invention describes an automated system for practicing cyber-attack responses. It sets up a fake, but realistic, version of an organization's computer network in a cloud environment. An automated attack engine then launches cyber threats against this fake network, allowing users to observe and interact with the attack in real-time, helping to understand how real threats would behave. The claims narrow the mimic network to a specific portion of an existing IT, cloud, or email network, and the user interface to mimic a cybersecurity appliance.
