That includes the command of forces not necessarily from their own country. To describe and evaluate such leadership expectations, this article examines NATO training and uncovers the expectations defined by the training. The analysis of five courses offered by the NATO School Oberammergau helps determine these expectations in the specific areas for specific ranks and the value-added of the training and its content. For example, non-commissioned officers with ranks OR-4/OR-5 are expected to lead in interoperability, OR-6/OR-7 in rules of engagement, combating trafficking in human beings and tackling organized crime, and OR-8/OR-9 in international ethics and law of armed conflict. Commissioned officers with ranks OF-4/OF-9 are expected to lead in integrity-building and anti-corruption activities. Between 2015 and 2021, there have been a total of 1 555 trainees on these five courses that, given their ranks, could mean that they would be leading over 85 000 subordinates in deployment.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alberto Tremori</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sasha B.

This article describes the training system, with gamified modules, that was designed and developed within the project to deliver training on the AR applications developed to operators in border security missions. The ARESIBO Training System is fed by a set of interoperable, distributed simulators (Simulation Engine) comprised of detailed landscapes, realistic assets, and end-user vetted border control scenarios. By generating virtual incidents and situations, the Training System creates realistic operational conditions in which to train and employ the ARESIBO AR devices. It also includes the front-end tools and interfaces for the trainer to setup and execute the training sessions, such as the Trainer Editor GUI. Additional gamified modules were developed to investigate the effectiveness of serious gaming for training; these modules work both on- and off-line and independently of each other to maximize the autonomy of the trainer. This work concludes with a description of the training scenario and training events.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">255</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">George Sharkov</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Christina Todorova</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Georgi Koykov</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ivan Nikolov</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Towards a Robust and Scalable Cyber Range Federation for Sectoral Cyber/Hybrid Exercising: The Red Ranger and ECHO Collaborative Experience</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Information &amp; Security: An International Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cyber range</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cybersecurity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">exercising</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">federated</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">simulation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">training</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2022</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">53</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">287-302</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cyber exercising is essential to crisis management preparation and maintaining a robust cybersecurity posture. To prepare for growing hybrid threats, complex cyber-hybrid scenarios with practical cooperation at the technical, operational, and higher decision-making levels are increasingly being used, leveraging the power of cyber ranges. Alas, owing to a lack of suitable simulation infrastructure and the ability to adapt cyber ranges to varied situations, such complex scenarios often remain inaccessible. The federation of cyber ranges is one potential response to this challenge, providing a solution for the individual cyber range limitations in terms of resources to replicate complex cybersecurity-relevant realities. 
The current contribution describes the authors’ experience designing the Red Ranger, a Composite Cyber Range. We detail the design and development to facilitate the agility required to support a working multi-faceted federation with the ECHO Cyber Range to allow for an “exercise-as-a-service” model to provide adequate and accessible cyber-hybrid mechanisms for crisis response training and preparation.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">287</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Elitsa Pavlova</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Implementation of Federated Cyber Ranges  in Bulgarian Universities: Challenges, Requirements, and Opportunities</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Information &amp; Security: An International Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bulgaria</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">classification</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cyber range</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Education</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">functionalities</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">training</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">University</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2021</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">50</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">149-159 </style></pages><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;margin-left:20.15pt;&quot;&gt;Cyber education has been one of the global challenges in recent years. Attacks are becoming more sophisticated, and it is increasingly difficult to provide a safe working environment. Hyper-realistic virtual environments called cyber ranges help increase the level of cybersecurity training. Access to multi-domain exercises is needed to make full use of their capabilities, combine information technology networks and other appropriate infrastructure. A systematic review of the modern cyber ranges used for teaching and research purposes in higher education institutions has been made. This study aims to analyse cyber range characteristics, functionalities, and requirements for their implementation and integration in accordance with the EU regulations. The results will be used in the development of a conceptual model for a cybersecurity training laboratory at the University of National and World Economy, Sofia, Bulgaria. Its inclusion in the teaching and research process is a relevant, important, and promising area for the future of higher educaiton in cybersecurity.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yavor Todorov</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maritime Cyber(in)security: A Growing Threat Imperils EU Countries</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Connections: The Quarterly Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">awareness</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cybersecurity challenges</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">frameworks</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">harmonization</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">information sharing</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maritime Security</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">norms</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">resilience</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">training</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2021</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2021</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">20</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">73-91</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The massive incorporation of advanced information and communication technologies in ships, ports, traffic, and cargo management increases efficiencies but also creates vulnerabilities.

This is even more challenging for the countries that introduce this new approach into the everyday activity of the state agencies within existing state systems and procedures. The absence of a common working language, unified procedures of communication and interactions seriously hinders the process of establishing the critical infrastructure protection system in Ukraine. Training programs are believed to be useful tools contributing towards the purpose of building up proper foundation for further improvement of legislation and procedures in the field. One of the educational and training tools are the collective exercise, which are most relevant for developing common understanding of the problem by participants, who usually work separately. This article describes the Ukrainian efforts in providing personnel of the involved state agencies with knowledge of the policies, plans, methods and tools of critical infrastructure protection. The description of planning and results of the first national level table-top exercise on Critical Energy Infrastructure Protection “Coherent Resilience 2017” are presented in the paper as well.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">120</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Elman Nasirov</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Khayal Iskandarov</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The Prospects of Azerbaijan to Enhance Military Interoperability with NATO</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Connections: The Quarterly Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cooperation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">exercise</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Interoperability</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">NATO</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">security</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">training</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fall 2017</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">16</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">89-99</style></pages><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">After the end of the Cold War, NATO recognized the importance of extending far beyond its traditional borders in order to maintain peace and stability throughout Europe. The incorporation of new members into the Alliance came to the fore. In the light of this approach, cooperation with partner nations became an important area for discussion. Ensuring that partner forces could work together effectively was one of the main objectives and this, in turn, highlighted the term ‘interoperability’ once again. Thus, the evolution of interoperability between NATO and partner nations after the demise of Cold War is considered in this essay, its importance is underscored, the levels of interoperability are introduced and the feasibility of Azerbaijan’s engagement in these levels is analyzed in this article. Different tools and mechanism that the Alliance has launched over the last decades are scrutinized and useful recommendations are considered for Azerbaijan to enhance its military interoperability with NATO. From this perspective of interoperability, different successful models have been outlined as examples for Azerbaijan to follow.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">91</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Luke Topham</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kashif Kifayat</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Younis A.
