Poland is hosting the European Cybersecurity Championship finals for the first time in history. From October 6 to 9, Torwar Hall in Warsaw is buzzing with life. The venue has become a battleground for the most talented young cybersecurity specialists from over 30 European countries.
Why is ECSC a great celebration of cybersecurity?
The European Cybersecurity Challenge is a prestigious tournament that has been identifying the best talents in the field of digital protection for 11 years. The event is run by ENISA (the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity) and attracts the attention of IT specialists from around the world every year.
This year's edition is special for us for two reasons. First – the finals are hosted in Poland for the first time. Second – we are co-organizers and had the honor of preparing the Jeopardy CTF, which is one of two pillars of the competition.
What awaits ECSC participants?
Over four days, competitors will face challenges that reflect real cyber threats. The program includes challenges from areas such as:
- cryptography and security exploitation,
- reverse engineering,
- web and mobile application security,
- or digital forensics.
The competition requires not only deep technical knowledge, but also teamwork skills, strategic thinking, and working under time pressure.
Where to follow the event?
Live results, interviews with participants, and behind-the-scenes materials can be found on ecsc2025.pl and on the organizers' social media.
We're keeping our fingers crossed and wish all participants unforgettable experiences!
