Business Wire
On the 15th of October 2021, Reply will launch the fourth
edition of the Reply Cyber Security Challenge, a team-based coding
competition open to young professionals and cyber security
enthusiasts from all over the world.
This year’s edition will be supported by Intesa Sanpaolo, one of
the top banking groups in Europe, and Immersive Labs, the platform
empowering businesses to increase, measure and evidence human
capability in every part of their cybersecurity.
Intesa Sanpaolo‘s support confirms its commitment to increase
education, awareness and training on cybersecurity among young
people.
Improving cybersecurity knowledge, skills and judgement is
Immersive Labs’ mission and the Reply Cyber Security Challenge
represents a new and engaging way to power up people’s cyber
capabilities.
The challenge, which in 2020 welcomed more than 10,000
participants from 160 countries gather together in 2,380 teams,
aims to put teams (from 2 to 4 players) in competition in a
24-hour marathon, Capture The Flag (CTF) challenge, focusing
on the identification of vulnerabilities purposely hidden within
software and computer systems.
Developed by Reply's Cyber Security experts, the challenge is
comprised of five gaming categories (Coding, Web, Binary,
Crypto and Miscellaneous) in which participants will have to try
to solve, in the shortest time possible, security problems and
riddles of increasing difficulty.
The competition will be held on Friday, October 15,
during the European Cyber Security Month (ECSM), the European
awareness campaign that every year, in October, aims to raise the
awareness of citizens, organizations, companies and institutions
about the major cyber risks.
The podium will be composed by the top three teams that, at the
end of the competition, achieve the highest score and present a
report showing the strategies they adopted during the challenge.
The final score will be determined by the highest number of hidden
flags identified plus a bonus awarded for the quick resolution of
the problems.
From today and until October 15th, at the website
challenges.reply.com,
participants will have the opportunity to register for the
challenge for free (by registering their team or joining other
players in random teams) and to train in "sandbox" mode on the
challenges of previous editions.
The Reply Cyber Security Challenge is also enriched with the
Train&Win program. Starting today, teachers and students
of more than 16 years will be able to train together with problems
to solve in CTF mode on the challenges.reply.com platform and win
Reply gadgets for educational purposes. The platform becomes a
cyber security gym, with exercises and study materials made
available to help prepare for the international competition on
October 15th.
The Cyber Security Challenge is part of Reply’s Challenges
programme, which aims to target the most innovative trends in
coding creativity, cyber security and finance. Since 2018, more
than 100,000 people have joined the Reply Challenges community.
