Taking place in Tokyo, the final stages of Trend Micro’s Raimund Genes Cup once again pushed participants’ skills to the limit, as they competed in a variety of challenge categories, including IoT, OSINT, targeted attacks, and SCADA.
Wrapping up the CTF that started with online qualifiers back in September, Eva Chen, co-founder and chief executive at Trend Micro, said: “Our industry desperately needs more talented young professionals to grow in their cybersecurity career.
“There is a gap between skills learned through classroom education and the practical experience needed to protect organizations. Our global and regional CTF events help address this long-running challenge by providing real-world experience in a fun, competitive setting.”
