The exercise was conducted at the Norwegian Cyber Range at NTNU in Gj\u00f8vik. Participants were told that a comprehensive cyber-attack had been carried out on one of the largest organisations in central Norway.<\/p>\n
Experts were called to contain the security breach; failure would mean that hypersensitive information had fallen into the wrong hands. Those involved in the experiment worked under pressure from this fake scenario in an attempt to stop the imaginary hackers.<\/p>\n
The exercise was based on a real incident, and the roles in the game were portrayed by students in the master\u2019s degree programme in Information Security, exchange students, a PhD candidate, and a post-doctoral fellow. The roles of the Norwegian Police Security Service (PST), the press and impacted entities were performed by representatives from Innlandet\u2019s county governor office, the Armed Forces, NTNU and Innlandet Hospital.<\/p>\n
Grethe \u00d8stby used this exercise as a part of her doctoral dissertation, where in which she investigates the attention generally given to informational security in society.<\/p>\n
