This handbook aims to fill a gap in the training for cyber-attacks and cyber warfare. By providing worked examples of different types of manual cyber wargame, including aims and objectives for each. Cyber wargaming combines two complex fields: wargame design and cyber operations. It has examples of: Network attack and defence exercises Committee games Company and state level games The Battle to Dominate the Information Space Attack Chain modelling The book is full of additional information for the reader, such as how a cyber conflict might develop or what the key decisions C-Suite leaders need to consider when faced by a sustained cyber attack.
