Abstract

This article aims to highlight the importance of war games in the management of cyber defense and cyber security, this with the use of didactic tools “learn by playing”, safe environments that allow testing at all levels of cyber governance , generating inputs for decision making and thus have a broader picture of the environment in cyberspace; The foregoing was carried out in the first phase in a systematic review of the literature on war games, using a bibliometric analysis to measure its quality, production and impact and to have a roadmap that allows us to characterize the different war games and their lines. of action. As a result of this process, it can be shown that even though research on cyber defense and cyber security is on the rise, issues related to war games, simulation and gamification focused on cyber defense are still incipient, and there are different lines of action in games. of war without having a defined standard and where kinetic models are taken and overlapped to the cybernetic field, which does not always turn out to be successful.
