How about a reverse event: Have two sides start with the same set of machines in bare metal; they have a time limit and a set of parameters about hw to config the bare metal.<p>One team is security; the other is black hat.<p>Each team has a mole. The mole cannot reveal their position...<p>Mutiple iterations.<p>* Develope&#x2F;Secure a [type] of site against [type] attack<p>* Create&#x2F;Find resource leach<p>* Create&#x2F;Recover from, [outage type]<p>These teams should be sponsored by various vendors... A weighting system needs to be developed.<p>You&#x27;d want a balanced team; where you have a range of skills in your team; where you also have a need for their expertise in each step through resolution.<p>It would be even more interesting to develop the team that writes the scenarios...
