“…[3][4][5] Modern cyber wargaming in corporate and government scenarios 6,7 utilizes the insights and experience gained from military wargaming. [8][9][10] The wargame is structured-often by a specialized consulting organization hired for this purpose 1 -to simulate experiences of a real cyber attack, and realistic responses to it. Participants of the wargame often comprise the company's employees from multiple functional areas: information security, application development, network operations, facilities management, customer service, production, marketing, legal and public affairs, financial, and distribution.…”

“…The US Navy War College has provided extensive expertise and documented guidance for military wargaming. 9,10 In the US Army, wargaming practice is often called Course of Action (COA) analysis. 11,12 Although such analysis is performed by military units of various sizes-from a small unit called squad to a very large organization called a corps-here we will use an example of a unit called a Brigade Combat Team (BCT).…”

“…Typically, unlike penetration testing in which "white hat" hackers seek to find the company's technical vulnerabilities, a corporate cyber wargame often places emphasis on a business scenario involving a cross-section of the company's business functions [3,4,5]. Modern cyber wargaming in corporate and government scenarios [6,7] utilize the insights and experience gained from military wargaming [8,9,10].…”

We demonstrate that game-theoretic calculations serve as a useful tool for assisting cyber wargaming teams in identifying useful strategies. We note a significant similarity between formulating cyber wargaming strategies and the methodology known in military practice as Course of Action (COA) generation. For scenarios in which the attacker must penetrate multiple layers in a defense-in-depth security configuration, an accounting of attacker and defender costs and penetration probabilities provides cost-utility payoff matrices and penetration probability matrices. These can be used as decision tools by both the defender and attacker. Inspection of the matrices allows players to deduce preferred strategies (or COAs) based on game-theoretical equilibrium solutions. The matrices also help in analyzing anticipated effects of potential human-based choices of wargame strategies and counterstrategies.We describe a mathematical game-theoretic formalism and offer detailed analysis of a table-top cyber wargame executed at the US Army Research Laboratory. Our analysis shows how game-theoretical calculations can provide an effective tool for decision-making during cyber wargames.

“…This wargame has three combat modes: (1) General Attack, by conventional means. The combat table of it is shown in TABLE I; (2) Raid. If at least 50% of the attack strength is non-Mechanized types, then the defender receives no terrain shift; (3) Air-Land Battle.…”

Compared with other large-scale warfare simulation systems, wargame, as a traditional type of warfare simulation, has the advantages of low cost, convenience, practicability, etc. This paper discusses the system structure and class model based on "Future: Korea War" which is a product of U.S. "One Small Step" company's Millennium Wars series strategic-level wargames, and designs wargame umpire rule description method based on CLIPS. The "Future: Korea War" system umpire rules could be revised without recompilation of the application software, which enhances the flexibility and expansibility of the wargame umpire rules.
