The main aim of the project is the Cyber-arena for research, testing and education in the field of cyber security which will cover the following issues: - Increasing preparedness of cyber-teams dealing with informative and cyber security and cyber security managers. Preparedness is crucial in critical situations, both in the private and the public sector. Creating a complex environment of the Cyber-arena will help in testing the real scenarios of cybernetic incidents and critical situations. Thanks to the involvement of both the IT team (red and blue team), but also the yellow team (management), which will help to imitate much more realistic conditions compared to competitive solutions. - Use of real physical elements. Theoretical experience from the virtual environment brings a limited view and possibilities for further real cyber incidents. Advanced virtualization of cyberspace, as well as the use of physical elements themselves, is a unique approach offering a very real and practical experience. - Testing in a safe environment. New solutions cannot be directly implemented but first must be tested for vulnerabilities and security deficiencies or impact on infrastructure. Therefore the Cyber-arena is a unique environment for this testing and security assessment. - Raising cybersecurity awareness and education. The general awareness of cyber security among citizens and students is still very low. The new form of cyber security education with the help of Cyber-arena and cyber games offers not only a high-quality environment for creating new security professionals and experts, but also enables them to increase their general awareness of cyber security.
