Patent attributes
A computer-implemented method for provisioning cyber security simulation exercises may include (1) maintaining, at a data center level for a data center including a multitude of nodes, a cyber security simulation template that defines a resource configuration for a cyber security simulation exercise in which a participant executes a security attack within a contained network environment to educate the participant about cyber security, (2) detecting an indication to place a user session of the cyber security simulation exercise within the data center to enable the participant to perform the cyber security simulation exercise, and (3) dynamically allocating, by an autonomous and centralized data center allocation agent in response to detecting the indication, a pool of resources at a node within the data center to the user session to enable the participant to perform the cyber security simulation exercise. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
