Cybersecurity Adventure Rally

Cybersecurity Skills Put to the Ultimate Test

The Cybersecurity Adventure Rally transforms FHNW students into “Risk Hunters” – specialized cybersecurity teams tasked with identifying, assessing, and mitigating security vulnerabilities. This immersive, hands-on challenge combines technical expertise with strategic thinking in a high-energy, competitive format.

The Challenge

  • Design and Host: Students create an engaging cybersecurity challenge that can be solved in 20 minutes
  • Solve and Conquer: Each team navigates through challenges created by others
  • Real-World Scenarios: Challenges will be based on authentic case studies provided by Competence Center Digital Trust team
  • Expert Assessment: The performance will be evaluated by cybersecurity professionals

How It Works

Each student team divides into two subgroups during the Rally:

  • Challenge Hosts: Guide other teams through your custom-designed security challenge
  • Challenge Solvers: Visit other booths to tackle diverse cybersecurity scenarios

Teams earn points based on both hosting performance and challenge-solving success, with the top-performing teams recognized during the awards ceremony.
