GLOBSEC 2023 CYBER RANGE EXERCISE BRIEFING<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Date<\/strong>:<\/mark> 2-3 November 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cyber Lab Organizer<\/strong>:<\/mark> Prof. Elmarie Biermann (CSI)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Format<\/strong>:<\/mark> 3-person teams consisting of UiT and SU students. Participants will need to allocate preparation time (10+ hours) as well as both days of the competition and expect to work into the evenings before each competition day. You will also need a quiet room for team presentation. You can either be seated in separate rooms or choose to sit together. Each student will have a turn to present as a member of the team. No PowerPoint is necessary, but the decision documents will be drawn up and presented to the judges. You will also need a team name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. This is a non-technical incident response exercise.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The Range will compromise a fictitious scenario (Scenario 1) of a massive, adverse cyber event. The scenario will be sent to the teams 5 days ahead of the exercise.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Each team may (should) appoint a coach.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. The coaches will be briefed by Noelle vd Waag ahead of Scenario 1 being sent out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. The teams will play the role of policy advisors at a national level and will present 3 high-level response options to government leaders, which include the advantages and disadvantages of each option. (Further detailed information regarding this will be circulated shortly<\/em>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. The teams will be required to present their decision document to a panel of 3 judges, who will score them and provide feedback.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Following this, round one is over and round two begins. After both teams have been scored, they will receive an escalation scenario (Scenario 2).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. The same format will be followed during the escalation \u2013 however, this is also a pressure test as the policy response options must be devised overnight and presented the following day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. The winning team score will be calculated by adding both scenarios\u2019 scores together.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Both teams will be encouraged to utilize this experience to enter the Geneva Cyber competition<\/a> on April 24, 2023.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The Scenario Background<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The cyber range does not assume any cyber security knowledge or competence on the part of the students. This is a strategic-level thinking exercise implying a knowledge of statecraft, risk and resilience, national security, critical infrastructure and contemporary global threats and geo-political tension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    One or two choice background readings will be provided shortly in order to assist the students in understanding how major cyber incidents can harm national strategic stability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
