The Azerbaijan Cybersecurity Center and SABAH Groups organized a hackathon dedicated to Victory Day
The Azerbaijan Cybersecurity Center (ACC), operating under the Innovation and Digital Development Agency (IDDA), together with the SABAH Groups of the Agency for Science and Higher Education, organized the “Secure Tomorrow” hackathon dedicated to Victory Day. The competition was held within the framework of the ACC’s “CyberPark” initiative.
As a continuation of successful collaboration, the hackathon was held for the second time, bringing together undergraduate and graduate students from SABAH Groups, with teams consisting of a minimum of three and a maximum of five participants. The main goal of the hackathon was to assess the teams’ ability to combine both open-source and proprietary technologies to analyze malicious files in a more resilient, secure, and efficient way. The event also focused on encouraging innovative approaches in cybersecurity and integrating artificial intelligence technologies into cyber processes.
Within the hackathon, participating teams were required to develop their projects up to a minimum viable product (MVP) stage. The winning teams’ projects will later be directed toward startup development processes, giving students the opportunity to transform their ideas into real business models.
The selection of participating teams was carried out by a group of ACC experts based on specially defined criteria, and the final results were evaluated by an independent panel of judges composed of industry specialists.
The purpose of organizing this hackathon was to showcase Azerbaijan’s strength and potential in cybersecurity and to support the training of a new generation of cybersecurity professionals.
