Project Overview
CySim is a currently in progress cyber sports complex that can be used to host cyber security scrimmages or skill-development events. Players can use CySim to improve their cyber security readiness while experiencing real time feedback. This project will offer not just red vs blue team operations but a host of scripted scenarios tailored to the needs of the event organizers. Besides allowing technical players to participate, CySim will also feature events for non-cyber security players such as public relations or board meeting practice. When complete CySim will provide a space to both technical and non-technical individuals to practice a cyber defense scenario.
Our portion of the project will be focused on creating a proof of concept version of CySim that doesn’t include the physical space the final product envisions. This includes the creation of a web application as well as the backend systems necessary to support a scripted scenario or CDC style event. We plan to deliver this along with a functional test scenario in order to demonstrate what an event using CySim will look like.
