AMAN, in partnership with its sponsors and supporters, organizes and hosts a multitude of capture-the-flag events face-to-face and online. Training and hands-on workshops are also carried out to ensure readiness of players before they get on-board.
A Capture-the-flag event is a special cybersecurity competition aim at challenging players to solve computer and internet security related problems.
These events aim at assessing players’ Cybersecurity skills, reinforcing learned knowledge, inspiring future learning, encouraging team work, and spotting talents. It can be played individually or in teams, and points are accumulated based on the number of challenges solved.
Workshops & Trainings in Cybersecurity
We build Cybersecurity interests by delivering workshops and training sessions to the public. We then allow participants to engage in a CTF competition, as we strongly believe that these competitions are the best way to drive motivation and skills. Our goal is to teach the fundamentals so that when faced with challenges, in competition or the real world, participants understand the problem, know the resources they have available, and are able to solve it themselves.
CTF events provide a space for talents to expand their Cybersecurity knowledge in a fun and self-driven learning way. At these events, participants usually practice, learn, and share with each other new skills and knowledge. They form a great venue to learn team work, sharpen people’s problem-solving skills, and spot talent.
