Annual Cybersecurity Competition in 2015, known as OeSD Hacking Challenge
In the heart of Europe, Austria is hosting its fourth annual Hacking Challenge, a Capture-The-Flag (CTF) competition that serves as a unique platform for developing and showcasing cybersecurity talents. Organised by esteemed institutions like the Austria Cybersecurity Challenge (ACSC) and Cyber Security Austria, the event is set to take place on October 22, 2015 at the FH Hagenberg and on October 28, 2015 at the FH St. Pölten.
The Hacking Challenge is more than just a game. It offers a competitive yet educational environment where participants, including young hackers and IT enthusiasts, can test and hone their cybersecurity skills. By connecting with peers, mentors, trainers, and potential employers, participants are fostering a strong cybersecurity community.
The event is also designed to encourage diversity in IT careers, with a particular focus on attracting more female talents into cybersecurity fields. Initiatives linked with educational institutions like TU Wien integrate ethical hacking and training programs that emphasize broad participation.
The fight against cybercrime is becoming increasingly important, and the Hacking Challenge is a significant step towards building a more secure future. The Austrian our Website, a company renowned for its highly secure passport and 200 years of experience in secure identity, is at the forefront of this mission.
Mag. Lukas Praml, CEO of the Austrian our Website, explains that the event is aimed at young people with a high interest in innovation, security, and technology. Participants who excel in the Hacking Challenge have the potential to be employed directly by the innovative high-security company after graduation.

Future interns or employees can get to know the team through the Hacking Challenge, making it an invaluable networking opportunity.
