One of the important aspects of cybersecurity incidents prevention is to have prepared staff with knowledge on how to handle such incidents in practice. Such practical knowledge can be gained when handling real large-scale incidents, which are however rather rare, or through hands-on cybersecurity exercises. Masaryk university organizes in cooperation with the National cyber and information security authority and other private and public institutions such exercises. For this purpose, we developed KYPO (cybernetic polygon), which consists of cloud environment used for simulating actual network and IT infrastructures and a KYPO-lab facility, in which the exercises take place. In this module, students will be shown what the facility for cybersecurity environment looks like, what kinds of exercises are being implemented to provide cybersecurity professionals with sufficient experience, and how the cybernetic polygon works.

This module will take place in the KYPO lab, which is located in the building of the Faculty of Informatics (Botanická 68a, Brno), on 11.5. at 14:00. Please come through the main entrance, the arrows will guide you into the lab.
