Abstract :
The nonprofit Bipartisan Policy Center recently conducted Cyber ShockWave, a series of simulated cyberattacks to role play the US government´s response scenarios. The simulations included an attack on US cell phone networks and power grids and a scripted series of cascading crises. Former high-level government officials played the roles of senior administration and national security officials in responding to the various events.
