The Future Battlefield includes the main areas of modern warfare, including the ground, sea, and air, as well as cyberspace and space. Cyberspace consists of computers, wired and wireless networks, and spans the ground, sea, air, and space domains. Cyber warfare takes place in cyberspace, so it is not easy for people without expertise in cyber to recognize the cyber situation. Therefore, training personnel with professional knowledge and skills in cyber is paramount in preparation for cyber warfare. In particular, the results of cyber warfare will vary greatly depending on the ability of cyber combatants to carry it out, the performance of cyber systems, and the proficiency of cyber warfare procedures. The South Korean military has power to respond to cyber warfare at various levels, centering on the Cyber Operations Command, but there is a limit to defending all the rapidly expanding cyberspace. In this paper, to overcome these limitations, we looked at the changes in Germany's cyber warfare response policy. Based on them, the organization structure, weapon system, and education and training system of future Korean military cyber forces are presented separately.

Threats targeting cyberspace are becoming more intelligent and increasing day by day. To cope with such cyber threats, it is essential to improve the coping ability of system security officers. In this paper, we propose a simulated threat generator that automatically generates cyber threats for cyber defense training. The proposed Simulated Threat Generator is designed with MITRE ATT & CK(Adversarial Tactics, Techniques and Common Knowledge) framework to easily add an evolving cyber threat and select the next threat based on the threat execution result.

In order to provide realistic traffic to the cyber warfare training system, it is necessary to prepare a traffic distribution plan in advance and to create a training data set using normal/threat data sets. This paper presents the design and implementation results of a method for creating a traffic distribution plan and a training data set to provide background traffic like a real environment to a cyber warfare training system. We propose a method of a traffic distribution plan by using the network topology of the training environment to distribute traffic and the traffic attribute information collected in real and simulated environments. We propose a method of generating a training data set according to a traffic distribution plan using a unit traffic and a mixed traffic method using the ratio of the protocol. Using the implemented tool, a traffic distribution plan was created, and the training data set creation result according to the distribution plan was confirmed.

When a large-scale cyber attack or terrorism occurs and the country suffers enormous damage or poses a fatal threat to security, social interest in nurturing cybersecurity workforce increases. In addition, the government often suggests policies and guideline to train cybersecurity workforce. However, the system that can systematically manage trained cyber workforce after they are employed in related organizations or companies is still weak. Software workforce has a standardized qualification level model, so appropriate jobs are set and managed for each level. Cyber workforce also need a specialized qualification level model that takes into account their career, academic background, and education&training performance. By assigning a qualification level, the duties that can be performed for each level should be set, and the position and duty of the department should also be assigned in consideration of the level. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a qualification level model for cyber security workforce.

The development of information and communication technology in the 21st century has increased operational efficiency by providing hyper-connectivity and hyper-intelligence in the control systems of major infrastructure, but is also increasing security vulnerabilities, exposing it to hacking threats. Among them, the electric power system that supplies electric power essential for daily life has become a major target of cyber-attacks as a national critical infrastructure system. Recently, in order to protect these power systems, various security systems have been developed and the stability of the power systems has been maintained through practical cyber battle training. However, as cyber-attacks are combined with advanced ICT technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data, it is not easy to defend cyber-attacks that are becoming more intelligent with existing security systems. In order to defend against such intelligent cyber-attacks, it is necessary to know the types and aspects of intelligent cyber-attacks in advance. In this study, we analyzed the evolution of cyber attacks combined with advanced ICT technology.

The cyber-crime is one of the results occurring from the increased dependency toward information-telecommunication devices. Currently, the Korean National Police Agency and many other related law enforcement agencies have made efforts to respond against the cyber-crimes. However, the number of cyber-crime is increasing steadily. The worse problem is that the arresting rate for the cyber-crime has been decreased than before. The reasons of decreasing arresting rate come from many different kinds of cyber-crime methods with the developed computer and network technology, Also, the easy concealment of the cyber-crime by the violater and the difficulty of specification against the data objected to search and seizure make the crackdown difficult. The other difficulties come from the lack of professionally trained investigators, the lack of high-technological investigation devices, and the failure of the technology development for the search and seizure of evidences because of the budget deficit. That is to say, these phenomenon show the comprehensive problem of the cyber-police system. Accordingly, to respond against newly changed cyber-crime activities and to investigate effectively, the cyber-police has to take consideration into the professional reorganization of the cyber-police, the development of the investigation technology, and the adjustment of current cyber-crime laws. Most importantly, the cyber-police needs the high-technological investigation devices, the development of the investigation methods, and the training for the professional human resources with the enough budget support.J
