Development of digital twins of reference softwares for testing/certification in realistic environment.

Description

Security certification of detection systems requires testing environments that are realistic but also fully controlled. This presentation describes the development of a digital twin of the Multi-Agent System for APT Detection (MASFAD), deployed on the KYPO Cyber Range to support structured testing and certification activities. The digital twin reproduces the software architecture of MASFAD and the environment in which it operates. It includes a realistic enterprise-like infrastructure, background traffic generation, and controlled APT-inspired persistence scenarios. All system and security events are centrally collected through the Elastic Stack to ensure clear visibility of system activity and detection results. The platform ensures reproducibility, traceability, and controlled evidence generation. Experiments can be repeated under the same conditions, and the results can be verified. This work shows how a digital twin can be used as a practical and structured environment for evaluating detection capabilities in view of formal security certification.
