The event is designed to provide students with hands-on experience in solving real-world cybersecurity challenges through a Capture The Flag (CTF) competition in Jeopardy format.
The competition brings together students and aspiring cybersecurity professionals to test their technical skills across multiple domains, including web exploitation, cryptography, digital forensics, steganography, network analysis, OSINT, and miscellaneous security challenges. Participants work in teams to solve tasks that simulate realistic attack and defense scenarios, encouraging analytical thinking, teamwork, and practical problem-solving. In addition to classic CTF challenges, participants also worked with enterprise security technologies by configuring elements of the Fortinet Security Fabric, simulating the protection of a modern enterprise network environment using AI-powered security capabilities. This allowed students to gain exposure not only to offensive security techniques but also to defensive infrastructure concepts used in real organizations.
