Threat mitigation system and method

A computer program product residing on a computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• allowing a third-party to select a training routine for a specific attack of a computing platform, thus defining a selected training routine;
• analyzing the requirements of the selected training routine to determine a quantity of entities required to effectuate the selected training routine, thus defining one or more required entities;
• generating one or more virtual machines to emulate the one or more required entities;
• and
• generating a simulation of the specific attack by executing the selected training routine.
