MNE7 Objective 3.4 Cyber Situational Awareness: LOE First Impression Experiment Report (FIER).

摘要

The Finnish Defence Forces Concept Development & Experimentation Centre (FDF CD&E Centre) organised the MNE 7 Cyber Situational Awareness (SA) Limited Objective Experiment (LOE) in Riihimaeki 26-9 March 2012. The Multinational Experimentation 7 (MNE7) campaign consists of several work strands, each dealing with different aspects of the theme Access to the Global Commons . Cyberspace is one of the core study areas. It consists of five objectives each studying different aspects of Situational Awareness (SA) in the Cyber domain. Objective 3.4 (SA enabling technologies) is lead by Finland and supported by contributing nations Austria, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Norway, Switzerland, United Kingdom and United States of America and by NATO ACT. Objective 3.4 has been drafting a Cyber Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to set a proper framework to study SA technologies in cyberspace. The Aim of this experiment was to support the early phase of the SOP development by discovering solutions and investigating related issues. The LOE was executed virtually alongside a technical Cyber Defence Exercise (CDX) which was lead by the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCDCOE) in Estonia but distributed to several nations. The CDX was focused on training; Cyber specialists were to work in a virtual environment, where nine Blue teams defended their partially prebuilt computer systems against Red team attacks. The participants originated from both CDX contributing countries and MNE 7 nations. The MNE experiment design had the CDX providing a rich activity environment with adequate and suitable information feeds to support the requirements of the MNE Cyber experiment to study Situational Awareness.
