Scale Without Rebuilding

Define Once · Execute Anywhere

The easy buttonfor network traffic.

Deploy Animate Hosts, define their behaviors, hit play. Your environment comes alive with realistic, wire-level network activity — no scripts, no agents, no rebuilds.

Kill the10:1 engineering gap.

Scenarios that took weeks are ready in hours. Behaviors become persistent assets — built once, reused indefinitely across every environment you run.

Schedule a Pilot See the ROI

Zero agents.Zero operational debt.

Animate operates as a guest on the wire. No software on target systems. No configuration drift. Stop it when you're done — infrastructure stays pristine.

The Problem

Your environment is built.Now what?

Infrastructure provisioning is solved. Every platform handles spinning up environments. What nobody solved is populating that environment with realistic network activity.

That's where the manual grind begins — and where most programs hit their cost ceiling.

The 10:1 Engineering Gap

10 hours of manual coding for every 1 hour of active exercise. Every new scenario is a new engineering project. Nothing is reusable.

Architecture-Locked Logic

Behavior is hardcoded to specific machines. Change the network, the scripts break. Every environment rebuild starts from zero.

Sterile Environments

Without realistic background traffic, there is no haystack. Anomalies are trivially obvious. Training produces false confidence. Validation means nothing.

Compounding Operational Debt

Scripts leave orphaned files and altered states. Environments degrade into spaghetti logic. Cleanup costs as much as the build.

10:1

The Engineering Gap

Every hour of active cyber exercise requires ten hours of manual engineering. This is the industry reality — and it makes scaling impossible without Animate.

⚠ INDUSTRY BENCHMARK — Traditional Manual Workflow

The industry mastered environment provisioning. What it never built was a standardized system for behavioral governance. Without a dedicated control plane, mission logic stays permanently tied to individual assets — and the rebuild cycle never ends.

What Animate Is

Centralized control. Distributed execution.

Animate replaces environment-specific traffic engineering with a single orchestration platform. Define behavior once — the system handles everything else across every environment you run.

Animate does not "create realism." It eliminates the operational burden required to achieve any desired level of realism — as defined by you. Realism is an output. Not the product.

Control Plane

The Scenario Studio

Where operators define intent. Select behaviors, assign actors, set scheduling. The Orchestration Engine compiles your intent into execution manifests — no scripting, no SSH, no per-host configuration.

Behavior definition and management
Actor identity and credential assignment
Scheduling and stochastic jitter control
Real-time Activity Grid feedback
Coordinates multiple environments simultaneously

Execution Plane

Animate Hosts

Distributed execution nodes deployed into your environment. They receive manifests from the Control Plane and fire native protocol traffic on the wire — as a guest, with zero footprint on target systems.

Native protocol stimulation — SMB, HTTP, DNS, SSH
No agents installed on target kernels
Zero configuration drift on target assets
Horizontally scalable via node expansion
Pristine teardown — zero orphaned files

Centralized Control

One orchestration layer governs all execution across all environments simultaneously.

Distributed Execution

Activity occurs locally within environments — governed globally from a single control plane.

Environment Independence

No dependency on specific infrastructure. VMware, KVM, cloud, physical — substrate agnostic.

Behavior-Driven Architecture

All activity derives from behaviors. Define once, execute across any node, environment, or scenario.

Full Reusability

Behaviors and scenarios are portable. Build an asset once — it works everywhere, forever.

Horizontal Scalability

Scaling requires no per-environment configuration. Add nodes, not engineers.

How It Works

Five steps. No scripts.

From empty environment to live, realistic network activity — the entire workflow happens in the Scenario Studio without writing a single line of code.

1

Deploy Nodes

Deploy Animate Host containers into your environment. They connect back to the Control Plane automatically via the Cyber Mesh.

2

Select Behaviors

Choose network protocols from the behavior library.

SMBHTTPDNSSSH

3

Assign Actors

Create actor personas — identity, credentials, target servers, interaction patterns. Snap them to your nodes.

4

Set Scheduling

Define personality packages — when behaviors fire, frequency, stochastic jitter for non-deterministic realism.

5

Hit Play

Load pushes manifests to all nodes. Play executes. The Activity Grid shows live feedback from every container in real time.

↺

Pristine teardown, built in. Hit Stop — behaviors unload from all nodes immediately. No orphaned files. No altered states. No re-imaging required. Your infrastructure is exactly as you left it, ready for the next run.

You can't find the needlewithout the haystack.

A sterile environment is a useless environment. Without realistic background traffic on the wire, there is no forensic context — anomalies are trivially obvious, trainees learn nothing, and validation results are meaningless.

Animate generates the haystack. The 90% background protocol noise that makes every scenario valid, every exercise meaningful, and every detection actually earned.

That's not realism as a feature. That's realism as the natural output of behavioral orchestration done correctly.

Who It's For

Three roles. One platform.

Animate solves a different problem for each role in the pipeline. Here's what the shift actually looks like.

Range Operator

// Content Engineer · Day-to-Day User

The Pain

Trapped in the 10:1 scripting ratio. Scripts hardcoded to specific VMs. Range pollution and spaghetti logic after every run. Constant re-imaging cycles.

What Changes With Animate

Shift from scripting to configuration. Update one behavior and it cascades to every actor instantly. Stop the scenario — the range is clean. Every single time.

Program Manager

// Training Director · Budget Decision Maker

The Pain

Excessive billable engineering hours for every scenario. High Side logistics nightmares. Weeks of delay for a single environment build. Disposable work with no reuse value.

What Changes With Animate

75% labor reclamation. Scenarios in hours, not weeks. Behaviors become persistent assets — built once, reused across every environment indefinitely. More output, lower cost.

Security Leader

// CISO · Architect · Validation Lead

The Pain

Agent-based tools re-engineered with every OS patch. Static PCAP replays trainees memorize. No forensic background activity. Sterile environments producing meaningless results.

What Changes With Animate

Zero agents on target systems. Stochastic pattern-of-life generation that's different every run. Valid forensic context. Detections that are actually earned.

Not a traffic generator. Not a range builder.

Animate is the network activity layer that makes your environment work — regardless of what platform you use to build it. If you need network traffic in your cyber environment, we cover that piece simply, scalably, and without touching your infrastructure.
