    • Needs to create various nodes on the network and have to indicate that services are running, it might be good if automated.
    • I think everything is perfect, teaches us a lot.

    As compared to the battles with AttackIQ both applications are stable and stimulate the work given, However, while using the attackIQ the architect can automate the testing process and engineering team and fill the gaps. And it offers robust security through continuous, automated security control validation.
