ABSTRACT
Integrating research testbeds, attack mechanisms, and defence strategies into a unified cybersecurity framework offers a pathway to addressing the growing complexity of cyber threats. This study explores the multifaceted roles of research testbeds in simulating and emulating real-world environments, enabling the assessment of vulnerabilities and testing defence mechanisms. It also examines the evolution of attack vectors, such as Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), and the importance of adapting preventive, detective, and corrective measures in response to these threats. The research advocates for a spiral model of collaborative knowledge improvement, fostering iterative development and cross-sectoral collaboration by emphasizing the interdependencies between testbeds, attacks, and defences. This holistic approach underscores the necessity of aligning academic research, industry practices, and operational needs to create resilient cybersecurity solutions. The findings provide actionable insights for policymakers, researchers, and industry stakeholders aiming to enhance the security of critical infrastructure and digital ecosystems.
