The Science, Technology and Society Network (RCTS) computer security incident response team participated in the International CyberEx on September 11.
The RCTS CERT team's participation consisted of an eight-hour exercise. To do so, they used a purpose-built platform, which was accessed from multiple continents by teams from different sectors.
The exercise was carried out in the modality Capture the Flag and is designed to allow participants to gain experience in tracking an intrusion, as well as to improve their ability to react to cyberattacks.
The International CyberEx is organized by the Organization of American States, the CNPIC, and INCIBE (Spain). On its website, the initiative defines its objective as "strengthening the capacity to respond to cyber incidents" as well as "improving collaboration and cooperation" in responding to these types of incidents.
The teams involved, the same source adds, are made up of cybersecurity incident response teams or experts from various sectors: public, private, military, academic, and civil society.
