Zero Trust Security Model

Zero Trust is a security concept of “never trust, always verify” that requires all devices and users, regardless of whether they are inside or outside an organization's network, to be authenticated, authorized, and regularly validated before being granted access.

Both public and private sector organizations supported the concepts of Zero Trust to enable a more remote workforce, providing employees access to mission-critical data and applications even when working out of the office.

Concluded Webinar - 18th October

Cybersecurity Challenges in IOT - OT

The world is changing, interconnecting, sharing data, analytics, machine-to-machine communications and with this new technological landscape, we are barely beginning to understand the possible repercussions and the security challenges of these billions of connected devices.

Lack of security awareness can result in compromised device and access to your confidential data.

Concluded Webinar - 23rd October

Startup Opportunities in Cybersecurity

As COVID-19 spread across the globe and many companies transitioned to remote work, the need for cybersecurity increased immensely and investment in cybersecurity companies has increased more than ninefold since 2011.

Solving the cybersecurity problem will take more time and resources than we are currently allocating which is why cybersecurity is one of the most active sectors for investors.

This will be a wonderful opportunity for everyone to understand Startup ecosystem and its dynamics.

Rounds

Round 1: Qualifying Round

Every team must clear the qualifying test to proceed to the next round. The test must be taken by at least one member of the team for the entire team to qualify.

Round 2: Submission

The Round 2 has two mutually exclusive tracks. These are called the Programming Track and the Startup Track.

PROGRAMMING TRACK

The teams will solve two practical cybersecurity problems. The challenge round problems will require you to build tools to detect cyber-attack patterns from large amount of data on systems that have been compromised or that have been subject to cyber-attacks. The nature of the past data will vary from problem to problem. The team will download the data from designated location and will work offline for finding the solutions.

STARTUP TRACK

Teams registered for Startup Track should follow this path. Every team will be required to submit the proposal for their startup in designated format. The pre-jury will evaluate your proposals and short list for further processing.
