Federated Cybersecurity Testbed as a Service

There are many testbeds, physical, virtual and simulations for critical infrastructures and cyber systems. Furthermore, it is extremely difficult for one organization to have all the required expertise to perform research and development on these heterogeneous testbeds, and it is cost prohibitive to own and manage these testbeds. However, to understand the interdependency among these testbeds and their implications on cybersecurity issues and how to develop effective defense solutions, researchers and educators need to have full access to federated testbeds that accurately represent their operations and their interdependencies. It is important to be able to compose several testbeds into one federated testbed that includes smart devices and sensors, IoT devices, cloud systems, smart grids, smart buildings, etc. (ultimately what is known as smart cities or smart governments). These federated testbeds can then be used to train students on how to analyze the normal operations of the composed testbeds (basic training), identify their interdependencies, vulnerabilities and how they can be exploited to lunch sophisticated cyberattacks (intermediate training), how to develop innovative defend techniques, and how to protect them (advanced training / research).

The main goal of this project is to explore innovative techniques to allow seamlessly composition of a federated testbed that consists of several heterogeneous testbeds including virtual cybersecurity testbeds, IoT testbeds and cyber-physical testbeds.
