ICSTASY: An Integrated Cybersecurity Training System for Military Personnel

Abstract

Cyberwarfare can occur at any moment, anywhere on the planet, and it happens more often than we realize. The new form of warfare is wreaking havoc on not only the military but also on every aspect of our daily lives. Since cybersecurity has only recently established itself as a critical element of the military, the military community relies heavily on the private sector to ensure cyber mission assurance. Given the military's secrecy, such reliance may increase the danger of mission degradation or failure. To address this issue, the military has attempted to build a dedicated cybersecurity training system for the purpose of internalizing cybersecurity training. However, existing cybersecurity training systems frequently lack comprehensive support for effective and efficient cybersecurity training. In this study, we propose ICSTASY, a scenario-based, interactive, and immersive cybersecurity training platform that supports a variety of training features holistically. The primary requirements and design principles required to overcome the challenges inherent in developing a cyber training system were offered based on a review of prior work. Through the demonstration of our prototype, we have proven the feasibility of efficient and truly realistic cyber training, not only for the military environment but also for the private sector.

Overview of Potential Risks of Artificial General Intelligence Robots

“…These concerns primarily relate to security, accuracy, and trust. Security mainly refers to the level of protection these robots have against various types of cyber-attacks [37]. Safety refers to reducing the chance of an accident occurring, while accuracy is based on performing the intended task without error.…”

An Investigation of Learning Model Technologies for Network Traffic Classification Design in Cyber Security Exercises

“…Additionally, the increase in cyber threats and the explosive growth of network traffic due to the advancement of network systems and related technologies, as well as the widespread use of various network devices in daily life, industry, national facilities, etc., are expected to further escalate cyber security threats in various countries [3]. Especially with the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology through learning models, attack scenarios [4] and automated attacks [5] are being carried out in various places, and internationally, numerous countries are establishing cyber training [6] and training systems [7] to respond to cyber security threats. This cyber training mainly takes place in virtual spaces constructed to resemble reality based on actual cases [8], and is carried out by generating network traffic [9] identical to real networks through simulators [10].…”
