In order to fully implement the national cyber security strategy, promote the development of my country's cyber security industry chain, guide schools and enterprises to cultivate practical cyber security talents, and accurately solve the problems of corporate recruitment and employment of related professionals, the 2023 Cyber Security "Offensive and Defense" Skills Competition and Cyber Security Talent Evaluation Project, sponsored by the National Cyber Security Talent Training Base, officially launched registration recently.
Ensuring cyberspace security is an important basis for national security and economic and social development. However, with the rise and popularization of emerging technologies such as cloud computing, the Internet of Things, big data, and 5G, the boundaries of network information security continue to weaken, the content of security protection continues to increase, and the struggle for cyberspace security is becoming increasingly sharp and complex. New requirements have also been put forward for data information security, training of actual combat talent reserves, and accurate matching of school-enterprise employment.
With the development of science and technology of the times, people's awareness of network security has become more and more clear, and the country has repeatedly issued documents mentioning its importance to national security and economic development. During 2022, under the guidance of top-level policies such as the "14th Five-Year Plan for Digital Economy Development" and "14th Five-Year Plan for National Information Standardization", the national network security system will be strengthened and strengthened. Local governments and enterprises are actively responding, relying on the advantages of local resources to promote the development of network security, and incorporate the training of practical network security personnel into key infrastructure, emerging technologies, and other key personnel systems for future important information security. According to the relevant person in charge of the competition organizer, after experiencing the "hardest employment season" in 2022, the new environment of full liberalization of epidemic prevention policies, continued recovery of the national economy, and breakthrough applications of emerging technologies will also bring new incremental space to the upstream and downstream of the network security industry chain, creating more opportunities and infinite possibilities for the demand for network security professionals.
It is reported that this competition will provide students in the field of network security and related industry personnel with strength certification and employment opportunities in the network security industry. With the goal of "disseminating information security knowledge and discovering information security practical talents", the competition relies on the "Certified Information Security Professional (CISP)" "National Information Security Proficiency Examination NISP" of the China Information Security Evaluation Center and the "Network Security Attack and Defense Actual Combat" knowledge system and certification system of the National Cyberspace Security Talent Training Base to comprehensively examine the contestants' cyberspace security attack and defense penetration skills and actual combat operation techniques.
The competition is open to students from various colleges and universities across the country and network security professionals from all walks of life. During the period from February to April, through the three stages of preliminaries, qualifying matches, and finals, it will focus on offensive and defensive knowledge theory, CTF, AWD and other competition content. High-quality, high-level practical talents in the network security industry will be selected. In the end, the expert review committee of the competition organizer will rate the advanced students and recommend them to participate in network security attack and defense drills, and enter the top enterprises of key infrastructure and emerging technologies in the network security industry.
