The International Cyber Competition, due to be held on the first day of the conference, is aimed at preparing young programmers to respond in the event of a comprehensive cyberattack, as well as simulating government-level follow-up and communication.

The four students of the winning team of the Tabletop Exercise (TTX) and their teacher will go on to participate in the Geneva finals of the Cyber 9/12 Student Challenge. On the second day of the conference, computer emergency response teams (CERTs) from several European countries will be competing with each other in a critical infrastructure environment.

The opening address will be held by the chief patron of the two-day event, Zoltán Rajnai, the interior ministry’s cyber security coordinator.

Other speakers of the conference will include world-renowned white-hat hacker Zuk Avraham, the developer of a mobile intrusion prevention system.
