The goal of this project is to develop a framework for integrating critical infrastructure cyber-physical systems (CPS) into an effective and well established Cyber Defense Competition (CDC) model created at Iowa State University (ISU). The resulting framework will enable others to replicate cyber-physical CDCs providing an avenue for producing more CPS security professionals. Cyber defense competitions across the nation have solidified and enriched student understanding and competency in defending computer and network systems. This proposal addresses the need for additional professionals to be trained to protect other critical infrastructures such as cyber-physical systems. ISU is uniquely position to design and run the new cyber-physical CDCs using the model established and improved over the last 15 years. Their Cybersecurity outreach programs focus on high school, community college, and four-year university students and help not only master concepts, but also thoroughly understand Cybersecurity as a theoretical construct and a practical, hands-on approach. The Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC) program funds proposals that address Cybersecurity from a Trustworthy Computing Systems perspective; a Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences perspective; and proposals focusing entirely on Cybersecurity Education.There are four clearly defined objectives of the project: enhance the knowledge of students studying security to include the protection of CPS; develop a framework to integrate cyber-physical components into an existing cyber defense competition model; develop scenarios, scoring rubrics, real-time anomalies, and other materials to allow other groups to host their own CPS- CDC; create a set of effective inquiry-based laboratory exercises and assignments that support the CPS-CDCs. The addition of the cyber-physical CDC will increase the overall numbers of students to protect the critical infrastructure and intellectual property. The experienced project team has been conducting workshops on cyber defense competitions, high school outreach programs, undergraduate club activities, and Cybersecurity literacy for more many years at national conferences. These efforts will continue with this award activity. Additionally, a website will be established to share cyber-physical CDC learning materials, exercises, and information, as well as instructions to setup their own cyber-physical CDC. Help will be provided to other institutions on how to incorporate these programs into developing cyber-physical CDCs at their institutions.

该项目的目标是开发一个框架，将关键基础设施网络物理系统 (CPS) 集成到爱荷华州立大学 (ISU) 创建的有效且完善的网络防御竞争 (CDC) 模型中。由此产生的框架将使其他人能够复制网络物理 CDC，为培养更多 CPS 安全专业人员提供途径。全国范围内的网络防御竞赛巩固和丰富了学生对保护计算机和网络系统的理解和能力。该提案解决了对更多专业人员进行培训以保护网络物理系统等其他关键基础设施的需求。 ISU 拥有独特的优势，可以使用过去 15 年建立和改进的模型来设计和运行新的网络物理 CDC。他们的网络安全外展计划主要针对高中、社区学院和四年制大学的学生，不仅帮助他们掌握概念，还帮助他们彻底理解网络安全作为一种理论结构和一种实用的实践方法。安全可信网络空间 (SaTC) 计划资助从可信计算系统角度解决网络安全问题的提案；社会、行为和经济科学的视角；该项目有四个明确的目标： 增强学习安全的学生的知识，包括 CPS 的保护；开发一个框架，将网络物理组件集成到现有的网络防御竞争模型中；开发场景、评分细则、实时异常和其他材料，以允许其他团体托管自己的 CPS-CDC；创建一套有效的基于探究的实验室练习和作业，以支持 CPS-CDC。网络物理 CDC 的增加将增加学生总数，以保护关键基础设施和知识产权。经验丰富的项目团队多年来一直在全国会议上举办有关网络防御竞赛、高中外展计划、本科生俱乐部活动和网络安全素养的研讨会。这些努力将在本次颁奖活动中继续下去。此外，还将建立一个网站来共享网络物理 CDC 学习材料、练习和信息，以及建立自己的网络物理 CDC 的说明。将向其他机构提供帮助，帮助他们了解如何将这些计划纳入其机构内开发网络物理 CDC。
