CyberVAN: A Cyber Security Virtual Assured Network testbed

In this paper we describe CyberVAN, a Cyber Security Virtual Assured Network testbed. CyberVAN enables speedy and flexible setup of high-fidelity cyber security scenarios to evaluate the effectiveness of both novel existing cyber technologies. CyberVAN provides many features needed by cyber security researchers, developers and practitioners alike, and can be used for both verification and validation purposes. We provide an overview of CyberVAN's functionality and a blueprint of the envisioned roadmap. Currently CyberVAN is available to ARL Cyber Security CRA (Collaborative Research Alliance) members. It is being used to evaluate CRA-developed cyber defense technologies and assess their applicability to the military strategic and tactical network environments.
