In today’s virtually connected day and age and application of technologies in every aspect of life, information and cyber security are vital to people, organizations and nations alike. Information vulnerabilities can have catastrophic implications in the hands of cyber criminals.

To raise awareness about the importance of information and cyber security, Dubai Police is organizing its second annual Capture the Flag (CTF) challenge.

CTF invites professional and amateur hackers to join fellow experts in a 2-day challenge, taking place on 23-24 November at Hub Zero, City Walk, Dubai, with the goal of capturing the cyber-criminal in the challenge and hand him to the police. Participants will all be competing in the same virtual environment and race against the clock to finish ahead of other contestants.
