Flagship Event 12. - 13.1.2021

Check out the recommendations.

For testing the network capabilities, you should perform the two tests described below. One is to test the current network speed and the other is to test the network latency. We recommend that you run these tests in the very same environment, which you are planning to use to join in the cyber exercise.

With this question the conductor assumes that the person is planning to attend from her organisation’s premises and with this question she asks if participating to the FlagShip 1 create or increase some risk for the organisation’s networks or the services therein. To our best knowledge, we see no raised or new risks. For more in-depth rationale behind this, please see the next answer.

Connectivity is provided through a prepared VirtualBox virtual machine. A download link and instructions for commissioning and decommissioning will be provided before the exercise. The connectivity implements the requirement specification documented in project deliverable D7.1.

Please share the invitation email and registration link with your colleagues. We have reserved one seat for each partner organisation. If there are seats available, they can be filled with additional participants from partner organisations.

Partner’s employees are prioritised. Nevertheless, yes, PhDs and curriculum students can apply.

FlagShip 1 is a learning opportunity, not a competition. A threat actor is not going put your scores on scoreboard, but they may need to take some time to revisit their plans, if they have been detected or their plans are perhaps made useless. Please see the next answer.

If a picture is worth more than a thousand words, then a video that runs for 5:34 must be worth a decent library. A cyber security incident concerns the whole organisation. Unfortunately it does not respect anyone’s background. An incident concerns the organisation’s employees, management team and its board, customers (or consumers), suppliers, partners, vendors, stakeholders, the great public...

You can apply for any role you wish. Please note, that the conductor assigns the exercise role for you.

Umm… did we forgot to mention that actually this is a complex and realistic learning opportunity? Oh, bummers… actually we did! Our humble apologies! Rarely does a threat actor send an email stating the specific date and time, the techniques, tactics, and procedures they are going to use to achieve their goals, and name the goals or motivation. That is exactly the case here. By the way, you have relative advantage here. You already know the specific dates when something is going to happen, or should we say when the lake Jyväsjärvi freezes.
