\nSingapore. To inspire the local cybersecurity community, GROUP8 recently
\nco-organised The Standoff webinar to bring a guided tour of this globally
\nrecognised cyberbattle to Singapore’s virtual scene for the first time, on May

\noffensive (Red) and best defensive (Blue) cybersecurity teams are brought from
\nall over the world to compete for the control of a simulated digital

\nwere able to step into the battlefield and observe how the offensive Red team
\ntested the IT infrastructure of the simulated city, while the Blue team
\ncontested by defending against these attempts. Taking a leaf out of reality,
\nthis city was a digital copy of a modern metropolis \u2013 with complete OT and IT
\ninfrastructures, such as transportation networks and traffic systems, all
\npowered by the latest technologies. <\/p>\n

\npractical cyberbattle, where teams seek out cyber vulnerabilities found in real
\ncritical infrastructures that have been simulated into this hackable city. As
\nan observer or as a contestant from either of the teams, participants were
\nexposed and kept up-to-date with cybersecurity issues; how these issues could
\nhave a concrete impact on the digital city and by extension, the real world.
\nApart from gaining insights from cybersecurity experts and the Security Ops
\nCentre (SOC) team, attendees were offered an analysis of common strategies that
\nattackers utilise to access confidential digital assets. <\/p>\n
