Department 7B2, known formally during the FUA Crisis as the Alliance of Independent States Task Force for Cybernetic Operations and during the Arachnid Drug War as ILESOC Cyberwarfare Department, is a military-sponsored group of experts and specialists in computer science and cybersecurity. Members of this group originated from the Allied nations known for its flourishing technology industry, namely Concordia and the Soryu, Joyonghea, Quenmin, Ilari and the United Kingdom.

Network Security and Threat Level Criteria

7B2 retains a criteria of designating a level of network security and threat alike according to the group's standards, which is known formerly as the "Department 7B2 Network Security and Threat Level Criteria." The list also applies to nodes within a network (e.g., server, desktop, laptop).

Security and threat levels are designated codenames. The codenames are colors and are directly proportional to increasing hue, with the exception of grey and black; grey is deemed the second-highest, and black the highest. Both security and threat levels share the same order of codenames. For the threat levels, each codename encompasses a range of advanced persistent threats, being relatively indirectly proportional to an increasing codename.

APT ranking is also referenced alongside the Criteria.

Network Security and Threat Level Criteria

Color	Security Definition	Threat Definition
Yellow	Lowest level of security	Negligible threat (e.g., Rensenware)
Green		Minor threat
Cyan		Moderate threat
Blue		Considerable threat
Purple	Fourth highest level of security	Considerably dangerous threat
Red	Third highest level of security	Dangerous threat
Grey	Second highest level of security	Highly dangerous threat; (e.g., Stuxnet)
Black	Highest level of security	Extremely dangerous or unknown threat (e.g., Clop Ransomware)

Personnel

Kerberos Trials

The Kerberos Trials are a set of tests affecting a candidate's placement in the department. It is regarded as one of the most difficult programming and cybersecurity tests in the world.

Eligibility standards differ among candidates. For civilians, they must currently possess a Bachelor's Degree at minimum in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Information Technology,or other related fields. For military personnel
