List of hackathons about cybersecurity in 2020

The first “FINSPIRE FinTech Online Hackathon” jointly organised by Convoy and Cyberport, will be held from 2020 March 27th to 29th. The event received enthusiastic response, with over 160 applications from university students in Hong Kong and other countries. When “Work from home” and “Online education” have become a new black in Hong Kong, FINSPIRE as an innovative platform for talent nurturing, has also caught the wave to get transformed into an online Hackathon, to implement the concept of “solving pain points with innovation”.

Python developers in and around Berlin! If you're interested in combatting data poisoning, then MUSKETEER & XAIN invite you to participate in the Berlin edition of their Hackathon: Shielding Federated Learning Against Attacks. You'll get to collaborate using Python to develop algorithms that can mitigate poisoning attacks in federated learning, identifying bad or malicious users in collaborative learning environments.

The hackathon will seek to create a knowledge exchange platform on threat identification in an ICS environment through the use big data and machine learning. The concept is meant to elucidate a Cybersecurity solution that identifies vulnerable points in an IIoT system through a machine learning algorithm that makes use of IIoT generated data and defined features. It will also explore the nature of ICS technology, the associated threat landscape and how Big Data processing can help play a role in the security of the overall industrial control systems. In principle, the concept of the challenge will be in the form of “Capture The Flag”. The concept is led by AMNET Cyberdefence Netron in collaboration with @iLabAfrica Research Centre of Strathmore University and VMWare.

Hacking is building things that you always wanted to have but no one has built it yet. It's to come up with an amazing idea and work tirelessly on it. It is to fail, fail again and fail better. Try out new things and learn while doing that. It's to work together, collaborate and build things that are innovative. It is to be a better programmer. With that spirit, IIIT Gwalior's IEEE Student Branch in collaboration with 5 other IIIT's (namely IIIT Lucknow, IIIT Nagpur, IIIT Kurnool, IIIT Ranchi, IIIT Una) is conducting a National Level Hackathon - HACKSAGON-2020. You can participate in any one of the three categories:- 1. Hardware only 2. Hardware in combination with Software 3. Software only HACKSAGON-2020 is a three Level Hackathon. Round 1: Idea Submission Round 2: Regional Level(Presentation submission) Round 3: Final Onsite Hack at IIIT Gwalior You can visit our website for any further information or alternate registration link for Round 1.
