Our 6th annual Capture the Flag (CTF) cybersecurity competition is a global, knowledge-based challenge to create a safer digital world
Register your team for the online qualifier, and you could compete in the final competition for the prize of JPY 1,000,000 (approximately USD 9,000) and more.
Test your knowledge and skills in targeted attacks, Internet of Things (IoT), reversing, mobile, machine learning, and other cybersecurity issues.
The competition consists of an online qualifying event in September, and this year’s final event will be a special online virtual final in December 2020.
The online qualifier is in a “Jeopardy” style format — players solve challenges in various cybersecurity categories. The top 10 teams from the online qualifier will advance to compete in the final, which is a different take on the standard “Jeopardy” style format with a new dynamic value scoring element.
