“…CyberCIEGE is intended to be extensible in that new CyberCIEGE scenarios tailored to specific audiences and topics are easily created (Irvine et al, June 2005). The scenario definition language expresses securityrelated risk management trade-offs for different scenarios.…”

“…CyberCIEGE consists of several elements: a domainspecific simulation engine and scenario definition language; a 1 We use the word "player" to refer to students who interact with the game simulation. Here, the term "student" is used rather broadly, and can include: traditional students in K-12, colleges, and universities; employees requiring awareness regarding cyber security issues; technicians who require specific training, etc.…”

“…CyberCIEGE is a video game that is used to enhance computer network security education and training through constructive resource management techniques such as those employed in the Tycoon© games [1] [2]. In the CyberCIEGE world, players spend virtual money to build, operate and defend networks, and can watch the consequences of their choices, while under attack.…”

Abstract-CyberCIEGE is a sophisticated network security simulation packaged as a video game and used by educators around the world to enhance information assurance education and training at universities, community colleges, within the DoD, and in other government agencies. The CyberCIEGE game engine was recently expanded to include Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) features including certification authorities, selection of installed roots and cross certification. CyberCIEGE Virtual Private Network (VPN) gateways, VPN clients and email clients were then extended to incorporate the new PKI features. CyberCIEGE PKI abstractions are described in terms of player configuration choices and the consequences of these choices on network management and vulnerabilities. The CyberCIEGE game engine modifications include modeling of chains of trust and risks of cross certification schemes. The benefits of these enhancements include coherent integration of identity management technologies, ranging from the human interface through to the supporting distributed infrastructure, into scenarios. Benefits also include support for recent new scenarios focused on the PKI infrastructure, identity management, or both; and the ability to tie both identity management and PKI to concepts of identification, authentication, provenance, and access control.

“…Another, CyberCIEGE (Irvine, Thompson & Allen, 2005), was recently created and was developed using the same kind of interface as the popular game The Sims. Players in this game are immersed in a three-dimensional office where they can be confronted with a number of different information security scenarios.…”

A major portion of government and business organizations' attempts to counteract information security threats is teams of security personnel. These teams often consist of personnel of diverse backgrounds in specific specialties such as network administration, application development, and business administration, resulting in possible conflicts between security, functionality, and availability. This paper discusses the use of games to teach and research information security teams and outlines research to design and build a simple, team-oriented, configurable, information security game. It will be used to study how information security teams work together to defend against attacks using a multi-player game, and to study the use of games in training security teams. Studying how information security teams work, especially considering the topic of shared-situational awareness, could lead to better ways of forming, managing, and training teams. Studying the effectiveness of the game as a training tool could lead to better training for security teams.
