International Cybersecurity Championship & Conference (IC3)

In partnership with the games, IC3 will offer a host of educational opportunities for attendees wishing to enhance their own cybersecurity acuity. You can network with industry leaders and hear some of the world’s leading cyber experts deliver information on trending topics and current best practices in cybersecurity. Come alone or bring your team as we bring together industry, education, and application to deliver one of the most exciting incubators of cybersecurity entrepreneurship globally.

The International Cybersecurity Championship and Conference (IC3) event is designed to attract top talent and raise global awareness of the power of games to upskill the cybersecurity industry.

Through its exciting, competition-based forum, the IC3 helps individuals further their cybersecurity education and skills. IC3 is designed with three primary components. The first is a speaker session showcasing top leaders in Cybersecurity Games and Exercises from around the world. The second is the hands-on expo of cyber games, immersive training, and exercises. Finally, the program includes the 2023 International Cybersecurity Challenge (ICC), a championship tournament featuring global teams (25 years and younger).

The cybersecurity championship tournament is composed primarily of capture-the-flag and attack-and-defend games. It is an annual challenge that moves from country to country each year and is organized by the ENISA International Cybersecurity Challenge Program (ICC). Teams representing global regions travel to this multiday event to compete in challenges related to web application and system exploitation, cryptography, reverse engineering, hardware challenges, and attack/defense.

Cybersecurity games are fun for all! Championship competition is limited to ENISA ICC teams; however, the expo will provide games and training opportunities designed for everyone to enhance their cybersecurity skills. Students and professionals alike will have a great time and benefit from this education-oriented forum.

The IC3 is a multiday event consisting of a Conference & Expo. The event will give attendees the opportunity to learn while having fun. The Championship allows you to see how 150 athletes from 63 countries test their skills in cybersecurity challenges.
