Artifice: Controlled OT Network Emulation for Training, Planning, and Validation

Artifice is River Risk’s OT network emulator used for training labs, network planning, DPI validation, and controlled workflow testing before high-consequence changes touch production systems.

Where Artifice creates leverage

Artifice lets teams rehearse, validate, and train in controlled environments. It helps reduce risk before deployment changes, DPI tuning, or operator/security workflow updates hit live production networks.

  • Training lab environments with realistic topology and traffic characteristics
  • Network planning and architecture rehearsal before production changes
  • DPI and tooling validation against controlled scenarios
  • Scenario design for assessments and tabletop-plus-technical exercises
  • Supports consequence-based training and workflow testing
Artifice is often bundled with River Risk training or consulting engagements so scenarios align with real plant constraints, operator workflows, and assessment goals.
Use Cases

Common Artifice engagements

Two-day training labs

Use controlled emulation to support operator and assessor learning without touching production.

Pre-change validation

Rehearse topology and traffic assumptions before segmentation or architecture changes go live.

DPI and detection testing

Exercise tools against realistic protocol mixes to validate tuning and workflow expectations.

Assessment preparation

Build shared mental models for teams before site assessments, red/blue exercises, or advisory work.
