2nd Model-driven Simulation and Training Environments for Cybersecurity (MSTEC) - in conjunction with the main ESORICS 2020 conferencend
This workshop addresses recent advances in the field of cyber modeling and simulation. It is aimed at providing a forum of practitioners and researchers to discuss cyber modeling and simulation (M&S) as well as its application to the development of cyber-security training scenarios and courses of action (COAs). Specifically, it will focus on the verification and validation (V&V) process, which provides the operational community with confidence in knowing that cyber models represent the real world, and will discuss how defense training may benefit from cyber models. It will also investigate advances in emulators, simulators and their potential combination. The workshop papers are expected to take a holistic approach to the overall system assurance process, presenting advances in the simulation of people, policies, processes, and technologies currently available in the field. The workshop aims to connect the multiple threads that currently compose cyber modelling and simulation into a coherent view of what is usable in order to train experts and non-computer-savvy users toward and assured operation of critical systems.
