Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Cyberpolygon is a platform designed to train students in the field of cybersecurity in order to obtain professional skills. In this regard, Astana IT University created a project aiming development of a cyberpolygon with various vectors for the exploitation of cyberattacks. This project allows more than ten students to work on the platform at the same time and gain Red/Blue teaming skills. This article provides a methodology of the development of the Cyberpolygon platform. Further, through the Cyberpolygon, experimental training was conducted among the students of the second year of study at Astana IT University, which allows solving real problems through the cyberpolygon. The performance testing and study of the platform was carried out by the methods of comparative analysis.
