CyberCIEGE Scenario Design and Implementation

Explore a 24-minute conference talk from USENIX's 3GSE '14 program on CyberCIEGE scenario design and implementation. Delve into the evolution of this network security simulation video game since its 2005 release, examining the development of game scenarios and enhancements to the underlying engine. Learn about the Scenario Development Kit and its language, which allows instructors to create customized scenarios expressing specific security policies and enforcement circumstances. Discover how this tool programs and augments the CyberCIEGE simulation, enabling rich context for student interaction while leveraging the simulation to assess network security and enterprise productivity. Gain insights into the scenario creation process, which combines storytelling and high-level programming techniques, and understand how designers use a forms-based integrated development environment to define initial conditions, security policies, economic constraints, and student feedback for each scenario.
