Deloitte Capture the Flag
For the fourth successive year, Deloitte are running their annual Cyber ‘Capture the Flag’ competition for a selection of targeted universities across the UK.
The competition is a fantastic opportunity for students to develop and demonstrate their technical and advisory cyber-skills. It tests students’ penetration testing, forensics, malware and intrusion analysis skills in a fun and competitive environment. In addition, this year teams will need to develop an approach to recovering a business after a cyber-attack.
The competition is split into two phases: initial qualifying on 31st October will be hosted remotely, following which the top-scoring universities will be invited to compete in the all-day final held at the Deloitte offices in Central London on 23rd November.
For all finalists, prize money is on offer alongside the chance to be fast tracked for positions within their Market Leading Cyber Practice.
