The drill was set in the simulated emergency that the portal of SZTU Information Center was hacked and tampered with, and there was an emergency commander to direct and conclude the entire drill. Once any abnormal condition of the portal was detected, the monitoring personnel would quickly verify and report it to the emergency response team, which would then immediately handle the incident while reporting to its leading group. After an emergency assessment by the leading group, corresponding emergency plans would be activated with the incident graded and an emergency command set up at the same time. The response team would be required to report to the emergency command after settling the network security incident.

Following clear procedure, proper commands and orderly measures, the participants worked in clear division and close collaboration and contributed to expected results of this drill. It will help raise network security awareness of the SZTU faculty and students, promote the implementation of the information security management systems, and improve the technical skills of emergency response personnel.
