Cyber Defence Exercise, where finalists will be asked to defend a virtual ICT infrastructure from attacks launched by a Red Team
The winners of the Advanced Cybersecurity Training will be awarded 4 scholarships.
The program is developed in the context of ZenHackAdemy, a collaborative project that aims to fill the gaps between traditional teaching in Cybersecurity (focused on transfering knowledge) with engaging, game-based techniques (focused on providing skills and competencies).
