Today we held the award ceremony for the local competition of CyberChallenge.IT 2023 at the University of Udine. CyberChallenge.IT is a national training program for young talents between the ages of 16 and 24, aimed at recruiting the next generation of cybersecurity professionals.

👏 Congratulations to the top three winners:

  1. 🥇 Riccardo Lunardi, student in the Master’s degree program in Computer Science, UniUD
  2. 🥈 Lorenzo Cian, student in the international Master’s degree program in Artificial Intelligence & Cybersecurity, UniUD+Klagenfurt
  3. 🥉 Filippo Merlo, student in the international Master’s degree program in Artificial Intelligence & Cybersecurity, UniUD+Klagenfurt

These students, along with Alberto Frigato, Massimiliano Gregoretti, and Sebastiano Morson (students in the international Master’s degree program in Artificial Intelligence & Cybersecurity), will represent the University of Udine in the national competition, which will take place from June 28th to July 1st at the United Nations Training Campus ITC-ILO in Turin.

Congratulations also to all the 20 Cyberdefenders who participated in the ethical hacking training program at DMIF from March to May 2023. They can now join MadrHacks, the Udine-based team of ethical hackers born out of these competitions. Currently, MadrHacks ranks first nationally and 24th globally (out of 21,000 registered teams) on CTFtime.

Special thanks to all the instructors and tutors who guided the students throughout this training journey, as well as our sponsors beanTech and Danieli Automation.
