Cyber Policy Haus

How can young people learn about election security and information campaigns? Here is one way! It's elections this weekend in Brandenburg, the state I grew up in. Wanting to contribute something in the run up. We organized an event with the local youth club. Using the paper Dr. Sven Herpig and I wrote on election security and incorporating the work of Dr. Anna-Katharina (Kathy) Meßmer and Alexander Sängerlaub on news competency, I made a *card game* that the youth could use to play Red and Blue Teams and attack the upcoming elections. In the tour de table at the beginning I learned that they do not have any prior Cybersecurity knowledge, they didn't know what exactly was digitized in the election but in the process of 90mins. ✅Team Red ♥️ came up with realistic attacks defining correctly the motivation of the attack, the tactic and attack vector ✅ Team Blue 💙 analysed their weaknesses and responded with the measures to protect, detect an incident or increase resilience. A lot of laughs also when the same defense mechanisms was played again and again. :D Can you guess which ones? I'm so proud of them! :) We afterwards analysed election programs over pizza. 😍

„Serious Gaming for Cyber Awareness"   👉 So lautet das innovative Seminar, das wir gemeinsam mit dem European Security and Defence College (ESDC) zum Thema Cybersicherheit veranstalten. 💻 Inhalt: Im Mittelpunkt steht das „Tango of Tensions", ein interaktives Serious Game, das den Teilnehmenden ermöglicht, reale Cyber-Bedrohungen zu simulieren und in einem sicheren Umfeld auf diese zu reagieren. Durch die Kombination von Spielmechaniken und praxisnahen Szenarien werden wichtige Fähigkeiten in der Cybersicherheit gefördert, darunter strategische Voraussicht, schnelle Entscheidungsfindung und kollaboratives Krisenmanagement. ❗ Ziel: Das Seminar soll das Bewusstsein und die Resilienz im Bereich der Cybersicherheit stärken. 👨🎓 Teilnehmende sind Vertreterinnen und Vertreter von Behörden, EU-Institutionen sowie Fachleute aus dem Bereich der Cybersicherheit. 💬 Oberstleutnant Thorsten Kodalle leitet das Innovationslabor unserer Akademie: „Durch den Einsatz von Serious Games fördern wir nicht nur das Verständnis für komplexe Cyber-Themen, sondern auch die aktive Teilnahme und Motivation der Teilnehmer und Teilnehmerinnen.“  

While we were filming our first video series with European Cyber Security Organisation (ECSO), the LinkedIn #videofeed started in beta version. I see great potential in using video to make cyber policy related topics more accessible. I know its not for everyone but for me as a visual thinker I was missing this a lot. So I knew this is a format I want to fully embrace when starting the Cyber Policy Haus. *HOWEVER* - I have a high need that this is actually useful for the cybersecurity and policy community and that this stays a platform where I find useful information through a professional network. That videos are actionable and relevant. So far, we produced short expert interviews. SO, I am asking before we produce many more videos as doing them well costs also resources of course - What kind of videos would you actually enjoy and would meet your needs, specifically for this platform? Survey in the comment! :) Any other comments, please also go ahead! I want to know what you think.
