Cyber Training Through Games and AI
Introduction
Cyber attacks are on the rise, I do not need to provide much proof of that, as it is in the news almost every day! There are cyber security vendors that do their best to protect organizations’ machines, but there is always gaps that result in the need for human intervention and resolution. There is a need in organizations for cyber professionals to be on the ready to respond to cyber attacks in both prevention and resolution.
Current approaches to training rely heavily on subject matter experts (SMEs) or Red Teams to provide a challenging and evolving adversary for realistic training of cyber staff. Automating this training environment using simulation is critical for meeting a growing need to develop qualified cyber staffs.
In general, it is agreed that a realistic training environment needs to include both kinetic and cyber activities. In the live, virtual, constructive (LVC) simulation training environments, the goal would be to train cyber and operational forces together. This article will go over the current state of cyber training in the commercial sector and how they are addressing the growing need for cyber training.
