- CYBERSECURITY INITIATIVE STARTS-
Welcome to the Hytema cybersecurity team, cyber agent.
You’ve been identified as a key
participant in our cybersecurity initiative to protect the U.S.
from cyber threats, and we’ve
assigned you to Hytema as a part of a team to protect its cyber
assets over multiple rounds of

3. cyber attack.
Your team’s mission is to improve Hytema’s cybersecurity
profile to support the company’s
business mission. Your team must determine and select the best
combination of cybersecurity
controls to improve cybersecurity at Hytema and maintain
business performance while staying
within budget. Support for the mission must form part of the
rationale used when making your
decisions. You and other teams in your group have been
assigned an instructor to aid you in
fulfilling this mission.
The stakes are high; compromised cybersecurity for Hytema
will weaken military defenses and
may lead to rival nations gaining access to military know-how.
Tough times are ahead; hackers

terrorism, natural disasters, and
economic pressures will make the situation worse. If we can
weather the storm successfully,
we’ll have demonstrated that our nation’s cyber defenses are
resilient. Stay tuned to the news
reports broadcasted by iCyNN–the best cybersecurity news
network in the U.S.–to keep your
team up to date.
Let’s see what you need to do as a team to set the pace and get
off to a good start.
First and foremost, collaboration is mission-critical! The
decisions you make as a team are
crucial to this cybersecurity mission and your performance, and
you are collectively responsible
for your team’s decisions.

5. Second, a holistic approach is the only viable approach! It’s
important to optimize your
performance in all areas rather than focus on only one area. For
instance, while you should
spend adequately on cybersecurity, overspending without a clear
focus will mean that
Hytema’s profits will dip. You share the budget for your
decisions with your team members;
you may be tempted to use the entire budget, and even avail an
overdraft, allowing you to
spend more. Take the risks into account when doing so,
however, because it will reduce
Hytema’s profitability and the budget available for the next
round. As a private entity, you
need to keep an eye on profitability given the current economic
climate.
Third, a good strategy is the key to great execution! Look up the

6. events in the Events tab to
know what threats are headed your way. You will also be aided
by advisories, which will tell you

how these events can overwhelm your defenses, and the damage
they could cause. Get
together with your team to plan a response and implement it
through your decisions. As your
team selects cybersecurity controls, remain aware of how these
decisions affect the key
performance indicators. With Hytema, Security Index is going
to be very important. Downtime
is vital as well, as is Profitability.

7. Finally, frame your strategy clearly as part of a written team
report; this is how your instructor
will know what you are attempting to accomplish in the round.
