The threat landscape
Traditional physical IT environments are shifting towards virtualization, cloud and IoT (Internet of Things). Various systems, including industrial control systems and smart devices, are now connected to the Internet. And with no boundaries online, cyberattacks are increasingly more damaging and critical.
Test your knowledge and skills
Test your knowledge in targeted attacks, Internet of Things (IoT), Industrial Control Systems (ICS), and other cybersecurity issues.
In our mission to make the world safe for exchanging digital information, we are launching CTF 2017 Raimund Genes Cup. It’s a cybersecurity competition that combines online qualifier and on-site finals. Top ten teams from the qualifier will enter the finals, hosted in Tokyo in November 2017.
The online qualifier is in a “Jeopardy” format — players solve challenges in various cybersecurity categories. The top ten teams from the online qualifier will advance to compete in the final to be played with a combination of “attack and defense” and Jeopardy formats.
Challenges include categories that reflect the present and future of cybersecurity: ⃰ 1
