The scoring of blue teams defending against attacks against fictional critical infrastructures is made according to the usability, availability and attack blocking performance of the defended systems.
The usability and accessibility scores of the systems start with a positive value and decrease as there are disruptions in access and usability due to attacks. There is no change in the attack points when the blue teams prevent attacks with the defensive tactics, techniques and procedures they develop, but each attack they cannot defend causes a loss of points.
Approximately 10 thousand different attacks are carried out as a result of the two-day red team attacks, and the blue teams that can best defend critical infrastructures in terms of tactics, inspection and procedure are ranked based on the total scores consisting of usability, accessibility and attack blocking scores, as well as the weighted average of these scores.
The security of over a hundred different endpoints, including different operating systems, web applications, SCADA, 5G, satellite, banking, air defense and network devices, was successfully ensured.
Türkiye has been participating in the exercise, which was launched in 2010 by CCDCOE, which was established in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, in 2008, for the last 10 years. Türkiye was 18th in 2019 and 14th in 2021 in the exercise, which could not be held in 2020 due to the Covid-19 epidemic.
