The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) is proud to announce Team Europe has reached 1st place on the podium of the International Cybersecurity Challenge for the second time in a row.
The 2nd International Cybersecurity Challenge (ICC) that took place in San Diego, United States, concluded on 4 August 2023. Team Europe saw their skills and competences challenged by some of the most complex cybersecurity puzzles to resolve.
With the highest score in the Capture the Flag (CTF) challenge, Team Europe was able to maintain the title earned last year. Team Oceania achieved second place and with a highest score in Attack and Defence (A&D), Team Asia achieved third place.
The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), Executive Director Juhan Lepassaar, added: “The success of today is an obvious proof Europe has talents to invest in and we can rely on. It is also a sign we are on the right path and that the efforts do pay back. This is why we must remain committed to engage with all our partners to promote cybersecurity skills, awareness and education. Team Europe’s success gives the EU Agency for Cybersecurity another reason to further help build and retain a talented cybersecurity workforce in Europe.”
