How to Train Cyber Warfighters on Situational Awareness

+ Network Traffic / Security Emulators

Improve situational awareness using network modeling software

Improving warfighters' cyber awareness and network analysis capabilities requires creating realistic and detailed models of the exact mobile network, spanning physical and virtual infrastructure. Network modeling software can deliver an efficient, high-fidelity approach to illustrate how user equipment connects to the network, emphasizing key elements within the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) for better understanding and troubleshooting. First, teach warfighters how to map abstract network elements onto real-world terrain maps, aiding in visualization and security analysis.

Guide them through authentication processes and message sequences, emphasizing the role of the Mobility Management Entity (MME) and Home Subscriber Server (HSS) in 5G network security. Through hands-on exercises, assist them in grasping control plane messaging and its significance for network attachment. Additionally, educate warfighters on potential cyber effects, enabling them to prioritize actions during outages. Finally, train warfighters to defend against threats using reactive and protocol-aware jamming techniques, leveraging the modeling platform for simulation and practice.
