Exercise
Competition

brought
together
cybersecurity
elites
from
DYXnet’s
teams
in
mainland
China,

Training
Cybersecurity
Talent
with
Simulated
Real-World
Cyber
Attacks
The
simulated
attack
and
defense
exercise,
also
known
as
the
purple
team
exercise,
was
organized
by
cybersecurity
experts
from
DYXnet’s
product
and
pre-sales
departments.
They
created
a
simulated
enterprise
network
within
One
Cloud
Director’s
controlled
environment,
acted
as
the
red
team
attackers,
and
exploited
the
latest
vulnerabilities
and
weaknesses.
Meanwhile,
eight
defending
blue
teams,
consisting
of
members
from
DYXnet’s
SOC,
Network
Operations
Center
(NOC),
and
Quality
and
Service
Management
(QSM)
departments,
participated
online.
These
teams
developed
defense
strategies
and
employed
techniques
to
detect
incidents
and
respond
promptly.
The simulated attacks included data breaches, suspicious internal communications, OWASP, enterprise application vulnerabilities, DDoS, and phishing emails. These scenarios tested the teams’ abilities in alert investigation, incident assessment, and response. The blue teams raced against time to solve the attack scenarios, requiring professional knowledge and familiarity with defensive measures, tools, and configurations to adapt to dynamic attack patterns. After three hours of intense competition, the team that responded most accurately and quickly was awarded the championship.
Joe Sze, the Director of Product and Services Management at DYXnet, stated, “Due to the increasing severity of cybersecurity threats, Hong Kong is considering new legislation for the ‘Protection of Critical Infrastructures (Computer Systems) Bill.’ This law will require critical infrastructure operators to implement measures safeguarding their computer information systems and enhancing overall security in Hong Kong. As a key player in the industry and a provider of cybersecurity services, DYXnet is dedicated to maintaining exceptional defense capabilities. We prioritize the training of cybersecurity professionals and consider purple team exercises essential training practices. These exercises allow our teams to engage in real-world scenarios, understand the latest attack trends and advanced persistent threats, and improve their response capabilities and teamwork. Ultimately, this enhances our overall cybersecurity posture.”

At “The Cyber Attack and Defense Competition 2024” hosted by the global cybersecurity leader Fortinet last year, DYXnet distinguished itself among twelve competing teams from service providers in Hong Kong, achieving second place. The DYXnet team comprised four members: a cybersecurity consultant, a product manager, and two engineers. Each member focused on identifying vulnerabilities, formulating security strategies, assessing incidents, and executing technical solutions. Their extensive experience in daily operations enabled them to respond swiftly to various types of attacks during the competition. This achievement serves as a testament to the team’s capabilities and expertise.
Joe Sze noted, “The purple team exercises emphasize teamwork and time management, as real security incidents often require racing against the clock. DYXnet’s Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service provides enterprises with professional support, ensuring that our SOC team 24×7 monitors and responds promptly, maintaining clients’ business operations and minimizing impacts during security incidents.”
As DYXnet continues to enhance its cybersecurity offerings, the company remains dedicated to providing comprehensive cybersecurity solutions and managed services, including Secured SD-WAN, MDR, SASE, CloudShield, dark web monitoring, penetration testing, and vulnerability scanning, to meet the evolving needs of businesses.
