“…-Interdisciplinary study -SoSE is a disciplineof-disciplines, requiring knowledge for different fields. Georgescu et al (2020) establish this as being the case for cyber diplomacy, requiring not only classically trained diplomats, but also subject matter experts, and a cross-fertilization of fields, with diplomats absorbing technical knowledge and experts becoming "diplomatized". Keating et al (2015) define CSG as "a paradigm starting from a theoretical conceptual foundation of a system which defines nine interrelated functions which must function together through various mechanisms.…”

“…From this perspective, it can be stated that SoSE perspective is tailor made as a lens for analysis of cyber diplomacy as process, practice, and field. Cyber diplomacy, according to Georgescu et al (2020), is a process using traditional diplomatic means, agents, and institutions, alongside new ones, to tackle transborder cooperation/conflict on issues relating to the digitalization of societies divided by these borders and increasingly unified in cyberspace. Table 1 presents a series of issues tackled by cyber diplomacy, but in a nonexhaustive manner.…”

“…System viability is the minimum level of continued existence and potential recovery for a complex system. As it has been noted, cyber diplomacy is preoccupied with a variety of governance problems made more difficult by the necessity of cross-border cooperation, with system destruction being a possible worst-case scenario if warnings related to cyber warfare, Internet balkanization, existential AI risk, the destruction of civilian infrastructures with mass damages and casualties and other scenarios advanced in the public realm are taken into account, as justifying state engagement in cyber diplomacy (Georgescu, 2022).…”

Cyber diplomacy is an emerging field of study and practice focusing on transborder coordination between sovereign actors in order to address issues of collective importance related to the digitalization of society, emerging technologies, the threat environment, and other consequences emerging from these developments. This article analyzes cyber diplomacy from the perspective of Complex System Governance theory, which is a framework of thought focusing on the viability of systems-of-systems. Cyber diplomacy can be integrated into such a systemic perspective through its role in communication and coordination among integrated actors. This analysis paves the way for future research into cyber diplomacy, including through modelling and simulation.

“…VIRTTX scenario and 'injects' were designed to be a functional exercise intended to allow participants to review plans and procedures to discuss and agree on actionable techniques or ideas for incident management within the business (Theodoridis et al , 2021). As a facilitated scenario-based tabletop discussion exercise, it simulated the real-life experience of dealing with an incident.…”

Purpose This paper aims to discuss the experiences designing and conducting an experiential learning virtual incident response tabletop exercise (VIRTTX) to review a business's security posture as it adapts to remote working because of the Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). The pandemic forced businesses to move operations from offices to remote working. Given that this happened quickly for many, some firms had little time to factor in appropriate cyber-hygiene and incident prevention measures, thereby exposing themselves to vulnerabilities such as phishing and other scams. Design/methodology/approach The exercise was designed and facilitated through Microsoft Teams. The approach used included a literature review and an experiential learning method that used scenario-based, active pedagogical strategies such as case studies, simulations, role-playing and discussion-focused techniques to develop and evaluate processes and procedures used in preventing, detecting, mitigating, responding and recovering from cyber incidents. Findings The exercise highlighted the value of using scenario-based exercises in cyber security training. It elaborated that scenario-based incident response (IR) exercises are beneficial because well-crafted and well-executed exercises raise cyber security awareness among managers and IT professionals. Such activities with integrated operational and decision-making components enable businesses to evaluate IR and disaster recovery (DR) procedures, including communication flows, to improve decision-making at strategic levels and enhance the technical skills of cyber security personnel. Practical implications It maintained that the primary implication for practice is that they enhance security awareness through practical experiential, hands-on exercises such as this VIRTTX. These exercises bring together staff from across a business to evaluate existing IR/DR processes to determine if they are fit for purpose, establish existing gaps and identify strategies to prevent future threats, including during challenging circumstances such as the COVID-19 outbreak. Furthermore, the use of TTXs or TTEs for scenario-based incident response exercises was extremely useful for cyber security practice because well-crafted and well-executed exercises have been found to serve as valuable and effective tools for raising cyber security awareness among senior leadership, managers and IT professionals (Ulmanová, 2020). Originality/value This paper underlines the importance of practical, scenario-based cyber-IR training and reports on the experience of conducting a virtual IR/DR tabletop exercise within a large organisation.
