Lessons Learned from KYPO – Cyber Exercise & Research Platform Project

Cyber attacks became significant threat for a critical information infrastructure of a state. In order to face them it is necessary to study them, understand them, and train personnel to recognize them. For this purpose we have developed a KYPO - Cyber Exercise & Research Platform for simulation of numerous cyber attacks. In this paper we present the KYPO platform and first experience gained from Capture the Flag game training.
