Advanced Cyber Risk Management - Threat Modeling and Cyber Wargaming

Abstract

The Homeland Security Systems Engineering and Development Institute (HSSEDI) assists the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S and T) in the execution of the Next Generation Cyber Infrastructure (NGCI) Apex program. This C Level brief presents HSSEDI's findings and recommendations in its analysis of cybersecurity threat modeling and wargaming for the NGCI program S and T's NGCI Apex program is developing an approach for threat modeling and cyberwargaming that financial services sector (FSS) organizations can use to consider cyberthreats and decrease risk. This brief describes a framework for cyber wargaming that balances the strong cyber defense technology focus of detailed hands on adversarial cyber exercises with the strong business and operational impact focus typical of high level tabletop exercises focused on cyber. To drive cyber wargaming and assist in managing risk, the brief also describes a framework for an integrated suite of threat models.
