February 8, 2018-- SCALABLE Network Technologies announced the availability of version 2.0 of Network Defense Trainer (NDT), a cyber training system. NDT integrates real and simulated cyber-attacks, wired and wireless virtual networks, live and virtual equipment and applications, and traditional kinetic warfare training simulators into a full, instrumented, synthetic cyber warfare training environment. The system allows trainee performance centered on awareness, reaction time and correct action (at all levels), along with the ability to work through a degraded cyber environment and complete a mission, to be monitored and evaluated.
The NDT 2.0 release offers a suite of features designed to enhance customers' ability to train for cyber warfare in a combined cyber/kinetic battlespace, including improvements to Exercise Control, Role Player Stations, and After-Action-Review. These updates improve functionality that allows cyber warriors, network administrators and command and staff to train as they would fight. This will improve their awareness, reaction time and ability to take corrective action as they work through degraded cyber environments and successfully complete missions.
