EDU: CPS-CDC - A framework for Cyber-Physical Systems based Cyber Defense Competitions

该项目的目标是开发一个框架，将关键基础设施网络物理系统(CPS)集成到爱荷华州立大学(ISU)创建的有效和成熟的网络防御竞争(CDC)模型中。由此产生的框架将使其他机构能够复制网络物理疾控中心，为培养更多CPS安全专业人员提供途径。全国各地的网络防御竞赛巩固和丰富了学生对计算机和网络系统防御的理解和能力。这项提议涉及需要培训更多的专业人员，以保护其他关键基础设施，如网络物理系统。执行支助股具有独特的地位，可以利用过去15年建立和改进的模式来设计和运行新的网络物理疾病预防控制中心。他们的网络安全推广计划侧重于高中生、社区大学和四年制大学生，不仅帮助他们掌握概念，还帮助他们彻底理解网络安全作为一种理论构建和实践的实践方法。安全和值得信赖的网络空间(SATC)计划资助从可信计算系统的角度解决网络安全的提案；从社会学、行为学和经济学的角度解决网络安全的提案；以及完全专注于网络安全教育的提案。该项目有四个明确的目标：增强学习安全的学生的知识，以包括对CPS的保护；开发一个框架，将网络物理组件集成到现有的网络防御竞争模型中；开发情景、评分规则、实时异常和其他材料，以允许其他组托管他们自己的CPS-CDC；创建一套有效的基于探究的实验室练习和作业，以支持CPS-CDC。网络物理CDC的增加将增加学生总数，以保护关键基础设施和知识产权。经验丰富的项目团队多年来一直在全国会议上举办关于网络防御比赛、高中外展计划、本科生俱乐部活动和网络安全素养的研讨会。这些努力将继续进行这次颁奖活动。此外，还将建立一个网站，分享网络物理疾控中心的学习材料、练习和信息，以及建立自己的网络物理疾控中心的说明。将向其他机构提供帮助，说明如何将这些方案纳入其机构的网络物理疾病预防控制中心的发展中。

The goal of this project is to develop a framework for integrating critical infrastructure cyber-physical systems (CPS) into an effective and well established Cyber Defense Competition (CDC) model created at Iowa State University (ISU). The resulting framework will enable others to replicate cyber-physical CDCs providing an avenue for producing more CPS security professionals. Cyber defense competitions across the nation have solidified and enriched student understanding and competency in defending computer and network systems. This proposal addresses the need for additional professionals to be trained to protect other critical infrastructures such as cyber-physical systems. ISU is uniquely position to design and run the new cyber-physical CDCs using the model established and improved over the last 15 years. Their Cybersecurity outreach programs focus on high school, community college, and four-year university students and help not only master concepts, but also thoroughly understand Cybersecurity as a theoretical construct and a practical, hands-on approach. The Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC) program funds proposals that address Cybersecurity from a Trustworthy Computing Systems perspective; a Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences perspective; and proposals focusing entirely on Cybersecurity Education.There are four clearly defined objectives of the project: enhance the knowledge of students studying security to include the protection of CPS; develop a framework to integrate cyber-physical components into an existing cyber defense competition model; develop scenarios, scoring rubrics, real-time anomalies, and other materials to allow other groups to host their own CPS- CDC; create a set of effective inquiry-based laboratory exercises and assignments that support the CPS-CDCs. The addition of the cyber-physical CDC will increase the overall numbers of students to protect the critical infrastructure and intellectual property. The experienced project team has been conducting workshops on cyber defense competitions, high school outreach programs, undergraduate club activities, and Cybersecurity literacy for more many years at national conferences. These efforts will continue with this award activity. Additionally, a website will be established to share cyber-physical CDC learning materials, exercises, and information, as well as instructions to setup their own cyber-physical CDC. Help will be provided to other institutions on how to incorporate these programs into developing cyber-physical CDCs at their institutions.
