Ronin Analytics facilitiates the leadership panel at The Washington Post Wargame
The wargame showed us that in the event of a cyber attack, U.S. public-private information sharing is at an industrial age level. We need to move to the information age level - Mark D. Young

Through a series of planned moves, the panel discussed how each federal agency would respond to specific cyber attacks. Ronin Analytics CEO (Bob Stasio) and President (Mark Young) crafted a tailored scenario that illustrated the gap in communication between the public and private sector. As Ben Powell stated: "We don’t complain that the government protects the airspace of the country so the private sector can function. We need to think about that government role in cyberspace."
Wargames are a conscious attempt to visualize the decision-making and operations process used to identify and evaluate strategies and actions. They reveal potential decision points, task organization deficiencies, priority identification, and risks associated with various courses of action. Wargames are particularly useful when making decisions about limited resource allocation with competing priorities. The optimal result of a cyber wargame is the development of preplanned options to address various threats to any system, process, or client. Cyber wargaming has been used to resolve potential issues without loss of client services, internal operations, or reputation.
