Cyber and Information Environment Training & Education
In addition to replicating the information environment, SITE 525 excels in virtualizing cyber infrastructure to enhance training realism. We construct detailed virtual networks, complete with simulated servers, workstations, and other critical components, all isolated from the real internet. These virtual networks mimic the architecture and functionality of real-world systems, enabling trainees to interact with complex network configurations and understand the intricacies of cyber infrastructure. This approach ensures that participants can engage with realistic scenarios, learning to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in a controlled and risk-free environment.
This sequestered setup allows trainees to engage in extensive, hands-on cyber defense and offense exercises without any risk of real-world consequences. Our synthetic environments are designed to be both safe and realistic, providing a secure sandbox for testing strategies, honing skills, and preparing for actual cyber operations. Trainees can experiment with various tactics and tools, gaining practical experience that is directly applicable to their professional roles. By offering a comprehensive and immersive training experience, SITE ensures that individuals and teams are well-prepared to defend against and respond to cyber threats in the real world, all within a safe and controlled setting.

Synthetic Training Environments
At SITE 525, our Synthetic Training Environments are designed to provide a comprehensive and realistic simulation of the information environment (IE). By meticulously scraping data from webpages, social media platforms, news outlets, and other digital sources, we replicate the dynamic and complex nature of the real internet. Our advanced algorithms and tools gather and process vast amounts of data to create a highly accurate representation of the current digital landscape. This enables us to construct training scenarios that reflect real-world conditions, ensuring that participants are exposed to the latest trends, threats, and communication patterns present online.
Our approach goes beyond mere data collection. We analyze and integrate this information to create detailed, immersive scenarios that challenge trainees to think critically and respond effectively. From handling misinformation campaigns to detecting subtle shifts in public sentiment, our synthetic environments encompass a wide array of potential challenges. This level of realism ensures that trainees can develop and refine their skills in an environment that closely mirrors the complexities they will face in their professional roles. By providing such an authentic training experience, we help prepare individuals and teams to navigate the ever-evolving digital information landscape with confidence and competence.
Information Operations
In support of Multi-Domain Operations and Information Operations, the SITE 525 approach goes beyond mere data collection. We analyze and integrate this information to create detailed, immersive scenarios that challenge trainees to think critically and respond effectively. From handling misinformation campaigns to detecting subtle shifts in public sentiment, our synthetic environments encompass a wide array of potential challenges, providing industry-standard training and education across all Information Related Capabilities (IRCs). Whether supporting Psychological Operations professionals, Public Affairs officers, military deception planners, or technical IRC planners – Electronic Warfare officers and Cyber operators – this level of realism ensures that trainees can develop and refine their skills in an environment that closely mirrors the complexities they will face in their professional roles. By providing such an authentic training experience, we help prepare individuals and teams to navigate the ever-evolving digital information landscape with confidence and competence.
Specialized Software Engineering (Cyber, AI, Information Warfare)
The AI driven automatic sentiment-driving content generation replicates realistic and relevant social media activity to drive scenario sentiment and outcomes based on end-user pre-defined parameters. We execute this via role-based permissions to replicate propagation of information through social media and the cyber domain to impact public sentiment. At SITE 525, our AI provides the ability for exercise participants and scenario developers to inject content during exercises, at-scale – in real-time – to impact sentiment and to meet shifting exercise objectives through social media, large videos, photographs, and audio-file post propagation.
Content can be injected into exercises in real-time and can also be generated by AI to drive scenario sentiment and outcomes. On SITE’s replicated Twitter platform, for example, AI can generate realistic tweets, replies, retweets, and follows, by learning from real world datasets. It is swayable, can serve as an effective medium for ‘astroturfing,’ and can be convinced to align with trainees as proxies to further influence white space.
