Twenty-eight teams and five guest international teams are now at the Messe Exhibition & Congress Centre in Vienna, Austria, to cyber-compete for two full days on 14 and 15 September for the 2022 edition of the European Cybersecurity Challenge (ECSC).

Teams have to resolve a number of jeopardy, hardware (HW) hacking and attack/defence (Capture-The-Flag) challenges. The international teams are engaged in a so-called escape-the-Box event.

The ECSC is designed to give an incentive to teenagers and young people already skilled in cybersecurity and support them in their training and career paths. It is seen as a highly effective approach  to create and increase cybersecurity awareness in Europe.

More info on the Challenge is available online at the ECSC website - European Cybersecurity Challenge. There is also a ECSC 2022 dedicated website – ecsc2022.eu
