Teaching Exploration of Campus Intranet Attack-Defense Competition in Comprehensive Practice for Cyber Security

Abstract

Driven by the dual demands of advancing the national cyber power strategy and cultivating new engineering cyber security talents, practical teaching of cyber security in universities must break the bottlenecks of traditional models and align with industry’s practical talent needs. Regarding the problems of virtual scenarios, monotonous training and one-sided evaluation in the current Comprehensive Practice for Cyber Security, this paper integrates the campus intranet attack-defense competition into professional practical teaching. It takes the university’s real systems and intranet environment as the practical arena, and constructs an integrated competition-teaching fusion model featuring pre-competition training, in-competition practice, post-competition review. Based on teaching implementation and questionnaire-based empirical analysis, this paper evaluates students’ satisfaction with professional skill enhancement, learning interest and initiative, competition arrangement and assessment methods, and verifies the feasibility and effectiveness of the promoting teaching through competition model. The results show that the campus intranet attack-defense competition effectively remedies the shortcomings of traditional practical teaching, narrows the gap between talent training and job requirements, and provides a reference for the reform of cyber security practical teaching in universities.
