The ECSEPA team supported the running of the Cyber 9/12 Strategy Challenge in London and Geneva. The competition is designed to identify and foster the next generation of policy and strategy leaders for the cyber security challenges of the future.

It provides students across multiple academic disciplines, be they technical or non-technical, a deeper understanding of the strategy challenges associated with cyber security and conflict. Part interactive learning experience and part competitive scenario exercise, it challenges teams to respond to a realistic, evolving cyberattack, analyse the threats and risks and then propose effective mitigating policies and strategies to panels of expert judges.
