Dear cyber professionals

Greetings from iTrust, Centre for Research in Cyber Security!

We’d like to invite your organisation to participate in the 9th iteration of the International Critical Infrastructure Security Showdown (CISS) 2025 as a Red Team. CISS is co-organised by iTrust and the Digital Intelligence Service , Singapore Armed Forces, and in partnership with the National Cybersecurity R&D Laboratories at the National University of Singapore. This is an excellent opportunity for Red Teams to pit their skills and knowledge in a one-of-a-kind OT red teaming cyber exercise that utilises interconnected industrial-grade OT testbeds as its platform.

We have heard your feedback during CISS 2024! Now, CISS 2025 returns with a familiar modality and added features:

1. Two-stage competition: Qualifying Round (48-hour CTF) + Finals: “Live” testbed access (4 hours)
2. CTF challenge contributions by more local and international collaborators
3. Hybrid platforms: OT physical testbeds and cyber twins
4. Mystery platform
5. Live scoreboard
6. No cap on number of teams per organisation, though each team will still be limited to 8 persons
7. Increased cash prize for top 3 finalists: S$5,000 / S$3,000 / S$2,000

Here are the most important dates for your planning:

1. Qualifying Round:
  1. From 29 Jul 2025, 0900h to 30 Jul 2025, 0900h (SGT, GMT+8)
  2. Briefing to Red Teams will be held on 14 Jul 2025 (time TBC)
2. Finals:

Please confirm your participation by registering your interest here before 1 Jul 2024 (you can also register using the QR code below.) There is no cost to registering and participating in CISS. If your registration is successful, you will receive a confirmation email one week following your submission. Following the confirmation, we will then follow your team leader on the details of CISS. Feel free to also pass along this invite to anyone you think would be interested in participating too.
