Cyber Security Awareness Week 2013

Starting on September 19, registered teams will receive a cyber forensics murder mystery challenge to analyze and solve using cyber forensics tools and methods. Two finalist UAE teams winning the regional competition and their teachers/mentors will receive an expense paid trip to New York City to compete with finalists from the US for the championship.

NYUAD invites high school students in the UAE to recruit a teacher/mentor and a team of one to three motivated students to participate in our 2014 High School Cyber Forensics Challenge, in collaboration with NYU Poly and National Electronic Security Authority (NESA).
