Volunteers

Champions Behind the Scenes

A dedicated group of student volunteers from Rashtriya Raksha University was pivotal to the seamless execution of Bharat NCX 2023. Working tirelessly behind the scenes, these teams ensured an impeccably managed and sophisticated event. At the forefront was the Green Team, serving as the technical backbone, maintaining network stability and system operations with exceptional precision and oversight. Trainer assistants provided essential support to world-class trainers, facilitating high-level instruction, while the Red Team meticulously orchestrated strategic attack simulations that tested participants’ capabilities. The White Team, composed of esteemed judges, upheld rigorous standards and ensured fair evaluations. The volunteers’ swift and precise responses to emerging challenges demonstrated their expertise, adaptability, and unwavering commitment, enabling participants to engage fully without disruption. This collective dedication and professionalism were instrumental in delivering an event defined by flawless coordination and lasting impact on all participants and organisers alike.

Registration

The first point of contact for attendees, this team handles check-ins, distributes identity cards and kits , and provides essential information, ensuring a smooth registration process and a welcoming experience.

Event Management

With a blend of careful planning and a touch of creativity, they transformed every room into a hub of energy and focus. Chairs were arranged, projectors were set, and microphones tested. But it wasn’t just about setting up technology—it was about creating the right atmosphere. The rooms had to feel welcoming, comfortable, and professional. No detail was too small, and each volunteer had a hand in ensuring that when the participants walked in, they were ready to absorb every piece of information coming their way.

Red Team

A group of skilled professionals who simulate real-world cyberattacks to identify vulnerabilities and test the effectiveness of an organization's defenses. Their mission is to mimic advanced adversaries, from cybercriminals to nation-state actors, using tactics like phishing, exploiting software vulnerabilities, or social engineering to gain unauthorized access. Red Team exercises cover the full attack lifecycle—from reconnaissance to data exfiltration—while challenging the organization’s ability to detect, respond, and recover from incidents.

Blue Team

The Blue Team volunteers are dedicated to defense, focusing on protecting networks, systems, and data from cyber threats, often in real-time. Their role involves hardening operating systems, implementing security controls, and monitoring for any signs of intrusion. During Red Team exercises, Blue Teams work under intense pressure to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities, detect ongoing attacks, and respond quickly to minimize damage. They utilize a variety of tools, from intrusion detection systems (IDS) to firewalls, and continuously refine their incident response plans.

Trainer assistants

Trainer Assistants of Rashtriya Raksha University (RRU) help and assist trainers during cybersecurity exercises by providing hands-on support. They aid in setting up technical environments, monitor the progress of simulations, and troubleshoot issues that arise. Their role ensures smooth execution of training sessions, allowing trainers to focus on delivering instruction. By assisting trainers, they help maintain an effective learning atmosphere, ensuring officers gain valuable practical experience while reinforcing key cybersecurity concepts.

Green Team

Focused on infrastructure stability, the Green Team ensures all systems and networks are configured correctly and remain operational during the cyber exercises. They’re the backbone of technical support.

Yellow Team

They plays the role of evaluators, observing and assessing the performance of both the Red and Blue Teams. Their role is to provide objective feedback on how well the attackers (Red Team) and defenders (Blue Team) execute their strategies, highlighting strengths and identifying areas for improvement. By closely monitoring the exercise, the Yellow Team ensures that the simulation remains realistic, effective, and aligned with the organization’s security goals. They offer critical assessments on tactics, decision-making, and response times, helping refine attack scenarios and defensive measures.

White Team

The White Team maintains the integrity and serves as the overseers and adjudicators in cybersecurity exercises, ensuring the integrity and fairness of the entire event. They are responsible for monitoring compliance with the rules and guidelines, making sure both the Red and Blue Teams adhere to ethical standards during the simulation. White Team also ensures that the scenarios are realistic and aligned with the organization's objectives. After the exercise, they judge the performance of both teams by comparing the incident and attack reports, assessing how effectively the Blue Team defended against the Red Team's tactics, and evaluating how accurately the Red Team executed their attack strategies.
