$100k ethical hacking competition, in-person at GTRI on Feb. 14th

Georgia Tech, along with the University of North Georgia, are co-hosting the Cyber 2.0 Hacker’s Challenge, inviting students and faculty from all educational institutions, as well as corporate and military cyber professionals, to participate in a live network penetration test with a grand prize of $100,000.

The First Ever Vendor-based Hackers Challenge in the USA

Threats associated with cyber-attacks are real and are growing. They are a real concern for many U.S. enterprises in healthcare, finance/banking, IT, utilities, retail, transportation and governments. All are steadily increasing their cyber defense budget and are continuously adapting new solutions and approaches. And yet, all are also willing to accept 99%, or even 95% defense, as the best that can be achieved.

Cyber 2.0, the sponsor of the Hacker’s Challenge, is a company that provides a defense solution against the spread of cyber-attacks within the organizational networks.
