International Cyber League competition aims to find the world's best cyber defense team
Competition will put professionals through hyper-realistic attack simulations
Cyberbit, provider of cyber skills development solutions, announced the launch of the International Cyber League (ICL), a first-of-its-kind competition that will determine the world’s best cyber defense team. The League will begin with America’s Cyber Cup, with registration opening today and closing on Monday, February 22. To determine the world’s best team, qualifying teams will face off against simulated cyberattacks in Cyberbit’s hyper-realistic cyber range, crowning the winning team as North America’s best.
The International Cyber League will bring together hundreds of organizations hoping to qualify for the ICL. Qualifying teams will be immersed in a virtual security operations center (SOC), using an arsenal of real-world security tools to defend against simulated attacks. Just like the real world, participating teams will not know the nature of the cyberattack beforehand, relying solely on their cyber prowess to effectively defend their simulated organization. To prepare for each round, teams will be provided with a set of cyber labs, where they can familiarize with the cyber range platform in advance of the competition.
