For the fourth year in a row, Cyber Battle of Estonia is organising a series of cyber hacking events aimed at young people aged 15-24.
The main goal is to make young people more cyber-savvy by providing them with knowledge in the cybersecurity field through practical cyber courses. We also aim to introduce how working in the cyber world looks like and what are the relevant skills and knowledge required. Cybersecurity is important everywhere!
Real-life situations are used in the regional pre-qualifier rounds and the final competition. For example a situation, where the city government needs help because malware has entered their server, paralysing all of the city’s systems from street lighting, pedestrian crossings and bicycle lanes. Or the traffic control tower needs assistance as they have been hit by a redemption claim and all data is encrypted.
Our goal is to introduce work in the cyber world and the relevant skills and knowledge required. Cyber security is important everywhere!
There are not enough good guys in the field. Get involved and become a cyber-savvy youngster!
