We want participants of the Secur’IT Cup in 2023 to come up with their own researches and projects to help solve cybersecurity issues in the following areas:

Tracking&Security of people and things

In the era of the Internet of Things, there are billions of connected devices that someone can use to access personal data, spread malware, or even cause tangible harm. Propose your project to ensure data protection and its legitimate tracking and collection.

FinTech

Financial markets around the world are undergoing radical changes under the influence of modern technologies, transformation of consumer behavior and regulatory initiatives. Cybersecurity is one of the most important issues on the agenda.

Family Care

«Family Care» covers three areas, but we suggest coming up with a project in only one area: Elderly Care or Pet Care.

Gaming & Geeks

In the structure of the modern gaming industry, the following levels can be distinguished: platforms, game engines, game development, publishing and operating, popularization and consumption. And each of them has its own vulnerabilities: theft of gamers' accounts, their achievements, DDoS attacks, cheating, weak engine, low performance, etc.
