Resume agents The agents were switched off: with them, the simulation managed about frames a second on this screen (measured over its first frames), below the it needs to look smooth. Clicking forces the agents back, and turns off the frame rate check.
Disable agents The agents were forced back: with them, the simulation managed about frames a second on this screen (measured over its first frames), below the it needs to look smooth. Clicking switches the agents off again, and turns the frame rate check back on.
Dashed vision Draws the circle of what each agent sees as dashes. Otherwise it is a faint line. Dashes take more work to draw, so they switch off by themselves the first time the simulation slows down. You can switch them on again. While the simulation flies there are no circles.
Fly through space The assets stream out from the middle of the screen and grow near its edge, as if you flew past them. The agents stay as they are and chase them. The wedge under it sets the speed.
Field of view How wide you see while you fly. A wider view makes the assets grow faster as they near the edge, as a wide lens does.
Shield break chance The chance, on each attack, that a red agent breaks through a shield. Every attempt is separate.
Assets While the sim flies, this counts the assets that have flown off the screen too, as long as a link of theirs still crosses it.
Coverage The share of the assets that at least one blue agent can see right now.
Undetected The compromised assets that no blue agent has seen yet.
Mean time to detect How long a compromise lasts, on average, before a blue agent first sees the asset.
Mean time to acknowledge How long, on average, a compromise waits after a blue agent can see it before an agent starts repairing it.
Mean time to resolve How long it takes, on average, from the moment a blue agent sees a compromise to the asset being repaired.

Cyber landscape configuration. Blue agents shield assets and repair compromised ones; red agents try to compromise them. When a red agent attacks a shielded asset, the shield breaks with the chance set below.

Only while flying through space.

The fly speed is too high for the asset spawn rate: space empties.
