About the European Cyber Security Challenge
European countries host their national cybersecurity competitions. The winners of the national contests represent their countries in the ECSC. Similar to the ECSC, the national cybersecurity competitions consist of security-related challenges from domains such as web security, mobile security, crypto puzzles, reverse engineering, and forensics, which the participants have to solve in order to collect points. The individuals with the most points win the competition and secure a place in their national team, which will go on to compete in the ECSC finals.

The Road To Athens | Redefining Education By Reaching A Global, Connected Audience Through Real-World Scenarios And Gaming | On Location With Jessica Gulick And Roland Cloutier
CyberSecurity is a really cool profession, there is room for many to join in, and the skills required are numerous and diverse. So why aren't we attracting enough people into this massively understaffed field? The answer likely sits in the industry's elitism and inability to reach the audience with the right message, early enough and with the proper training mechanisms. However, that's about to change.
We'd like to introduce you to the first International Cybersecurity Challenge, which is destined to be held in Athens, Greece, and tentatively scheduled for December 7-12, 2021.
The adventure started a few months ago, but the excitement is far from over. At this stage, The US team has selected their coaches, the team is trying out as part of the Cyber Combine selection process, and several critical milestones are ahead of us.
What is also happening is that this unique and innovative competition is making the news, interesting the public, and bringing new players to join the ranks of those supporting this initiative.
Today we talk about this and much more.
Ready, Player One? Two? Three? Four? Let’s go!

About the European Cybersecurity Challenge
The European Cybersecurity Challenge (ECC) is an annual competition, coordinated by the European Union Agency for cybersecurity. The event offers a platform for young cyber talents across Europe to gather and engage in networking over a unique opportunity to experience cooperation in trying to resolve a cybersecurity problem.
The ECC is intended to encourage young people to pursue a career in cybersecurity, by challenging and developing the participants’ skills needed in such extreme situations and connecting them with industry.
The Road To Athens | Redefining Education With The International Cybersecurity Challenge | On Location With Jessica Gulick And Ioannis Agrafiotis
What if we could turn cybersecurity training learning into a game? What if that game not only taught the skills necessary for a career in cybersecurity, but also inspired young adults from around the world to take part in the ever-growing field? Perhaps we can.
We'd like to introduce you to the first International Cybersecurity Challenge which is destined to be held in Athens, Greece and tentatively scheduled for December 7-12, 2021.
The teams don't magically arrive in Athens, mind you. They have to earn their way there. That's where the European Cybersecurity Challenge and US Cyber Games come into play, bringing the best of the best from Europe and the United States together, along with other countries from around the world. So who are the other countries? Stay tuned... we will be chatting with them as we join them on the road to Athens ourselves.
