The Cyber Polygon cybersecurity exercise will resume for the first time since 2021 and will simulate “advanced targeted attacks against tech companies.”
Cyber Polygon 2024 will be held virtually on the BI.ZONE Cyber Polygon platform from September 10th to 11th.
At the same time, CyberPolygon will also operate a booth within the MENA Information Security Conference (ISC), which will be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on the same day.
“This year’s exercise focuses on advanced targeted attacks against tech companies. The story centers around a startup that has developed a solution using AI technology. However, the company suspects that its internal infrastructure has been compromised. Exercise participants must investigate the incident.”

According to the latest registration information released today, “Participation in technical training is free and participants simply submit their company email address, team name, organization, industry and country.. “
In the latest update, this year’s Cyber Polygon is “Specializing in advanced targeted attacks against high-tech companiesThe April 23rd re-release announcement stated:This year’s Cyber Polygon will focus on protecting industrial infrastructure, as corporate teams from around the world hone their skills to repel cyber attacks.. “
The April 23rd re-release announcement also added the following:
“The training will be held in conjunction with MENA ISC 2024, where CyberPolygon will have a booth. At the same time, BI.ZONE experts will take part in panel discussions and other activities. MENA ISC 2024 is one of the world’s leading cybersecurity conferences, held in Saudi Arabia. The conference brings together cybersecurity experts and vendors from different countries on one platform.. “
From the Cyber Polygon booth:Conference visitors can track their training progress on a scoreboard, solve some tasks on the spot and take part in various activities.. “
“We see a need to promote more training events and courses for professionals working in infrastructure defense. Our training is aimed at strengthening blue team skills. Over the course of 24 hours, participants practice response team actions while repelling advanced attacks, and further investigate incidents using traditional forensic and threat hunting techniques.”

The World Economic Forum (WEF) has always played an important role as a strategic partner at previous CyberPolygon events, with its founder, Klaus Schwab, delivering a keynote speech.
However, the WEF has removed all mention of the Cyber Polygon from its website, except for two random examples here and here .
And the WEF is no longer on Cyberpolygon’s event landing page, which instead reads:CyberPolygon is hosted by BI.ZONE with support from INTERPOL.. “
The April 23 relaunch announcement mentioned Schwab and the World Economic Forum as previous participants, but organizers subsequently removed Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum from the list of past participants in today’s registration update.
But for now, at least, Schwab’s quote can be found at the bottom of Cyber Polygon’s landing page.
The last Cyberpolygon event was scheduled to take place in Moscow on July 8, 2022, but was postponed without any mention of war, conflict or Ukraine.
Coincidentally, on the same day, July 8, 2022, Canadian telecommunications giant Rogers experienced a major network outage.Nearly every aspect of daily life was disrupted, cutting off access to banking, transport and government for millions and hitting the country’s cashless payments system and Air Canada’s call centres.. “
Cyber Polygon 2022 is “Digital Resilience in the Cloud EraA place where participants can focus on their training.”What are the current trends of blurring boundaries and the shift to the cloud?” meanwhile “Leading industry experts will speak about cybersecurity trends, effective ways to prevent threats, and new defensive technologies.. “
“The implication is clear: a lack of cybersecurity poses a clear and immediate danger to societies around the world.”

“The lack of cybersecurity has become a clear and immediate danger to societies around the world,” WEF founder Klaus Schwab warned in his opening remarks at CyberPolygon 2021.
An unelected globalist explained in July 2021:We need a vaccine to develop immunity. The same is true for cyber attacks..
“Here too, we need to move from simple protection to immunization: we need to build IT infrastructure with digital antibodies built in to protect ourselves.. “
The discussions held at Cyber Polygon 2021 ended with a desire to immunize the Internet, de-demonize cryptocurrencies, and strengthen centralized systems of governance through closer integration of corporations and states (public-private partnerships).
“We are all aware of the frightening scenario of a comprehensive cyber attack, but have yet to receive sufficient attention. It would result in a complete shutdown of power supplies, transportation, hospital services and the entire society.”

A year ago, at CyberPolygon 2020, Schwab warned of a society-shattering cyber pandemic.
“The frightening scenario of a comprehensive cyber attack that would bring power supplies, transportation, hospital services and the entirety of society to a complete halt is something we all know, but we still don’t pay enough attention to,” Schwab said.
“In this respect, the COVID-19 crisis will be seen as a minor disruption compared to a major cyber attack,” he added.
Cyber Polygon 2020 was organised around the theme “Digital Pandemic: How to Prevent Crisis and Strengthen Cybersecurity at All Levels”.
“A cyberattack with COVID-like characteristics would spread faster and more widely than any biological virus. Its reproduction rate would be roughly 10 times higher than what we’ve experienced with any coronavirus.”

According to the WEF, COVID-19 is a known and anticipated risk, and so is its digital equivalent.
He added: “A cyberattack with COVID-like characteristics would spread faster and more widely than any biological virus. Its reproduction rate would be roughly 10 times higher than that experienced with any coronavirus.”
A few months before the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak, the WEF, in collaboration with Johns Hopkins University and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, hosted a fake pandemic exercise called Event 201 on October 18, 2019. A detailed simulation of the coronavirus pandemic To gauge global readiness.
The WEF held its last meeting, Special Conference on Global Cooperation, Growth and Energy DevelopmentIt will be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from April 27th to 29th.
BI.ZONE will have a Cyber Polygon 2024 booth at MENA ISC from September 10th to 11th.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy; all state officials are unelected and the regime restricts nearly all political rights and civil liberties.
Headquartered in Moscow, BI.ZONE has been a subsidiary of Sberbank of Russia since 2016 and was established to “detect cyber threats and intrusion attempts and conduct security system audits of Russia’s largest bank.”
