This paper summarizes six years of experience (2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016) at the Ministry of Transport, Information Technology and Communications and the National Revenue Agency to develop capacity and cybersecurity readiness. It is based on a number of projects, which adopt a consistent approach for change management and restructuring in public administration in view of cyber security standards. In addition, this paper outlines how digital technologies and simulation tools have been employed in the process of cyber security deployment and capacity development as an example of good practices in the public sector transformation. Using Computer assisted exercises, a special technical platform, training and exercise management system provides an integrated framework across the Public Sector for enhancing the effectiveness and achieving interoperability and analytical capability.

This paper addresses the efforts of NATO, EU and other regional initiatives to support education and training for better understanding the Crisis and Disasters Management processes (CDMP) and Climate Change Implications (CCI) on Military activities. The article tackles the question of applying Modeling and Simulation systems, tools, software and practises as a complex combination of live, virtual, and constructive environment not only to predict the trends, but to identify the source in a particular situation. Currently in NATO (according the Action plan on M&S in support of military training) there is a significant gap in estimation, forecast, and response plan generation capabilities related to crisis and disaster management and climate change implication. The development of a specific technical platform for CDMP &CCI will provide NATO&EU with a unique comprehensive training and analytical capability. This platform is expected to enable the support of large scale crisis management and disaster response distributed exercises and analysis with specific tools and simulations for different types of Crisis and Disasters situations. This would enhance the quality of training of the militaries and will provide a critical new capability for Allies.
