Security Challenges Round 1

  • (1) Build a Vulnerability Scanner that can identify common web application vulnerabilities (SQL injection, XSS, CSRF) with custom payloads and reporting.
  • (2) Create a Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) that can monitor network traffic and detect suspicious activities using signature and anomaly-based detection.
  • (3) Build a Log Analysis System that can parse security logs from multiple sources, correlate events, and generate alerts for potential security incidents.
  • (4) Create a Password Security Audit Tool that can check password strength, detect common passwords, and implement secure password policies.
  • (5) Build a Phishing Detection System that can analyze emails and websites to identify phishing attempts using machine learning and heuristic analysis.
  • (6) Create a File Integrity Monitoring System that can detect unauthorized changes to critical system files and configurations.
  • (7) Build a Security Information Dashboard that aggregates security metrics from multiple tools and provides real-time security posture visibility.

Security Challenges Round 2

  • (1) Create a Threat Hunting Platform that can proactively search for advanced persistent threats (APTs) using behavioral analysis and threat intelligence.
  • (2) Build a Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) System with identity verification, device compliance checking, and micro-segmentation capabilities.
  • (3) Create an Automated Incident Response System that can contain threats, collect forensic evidence, and orchestrate response workflows.
  • (4) Build a Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) tool that can assess cloud configurations against security best practices and compliance requirements.
  • (5) Create a Deception Technology Platform with honeypots, honeynets, and decoy systems to detect and analyze attacker behavior.
  • (6) Build a Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR) platform that can automate security workflows and integrate multiple security tools.
  • (7) Create a Digital Forensics Investigation System that can acquire, preserve, analyze, and report on digital evidence from various sources.

Security Challenges Round 3

  • (1) Build a Machine Learning-based User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) system that can detect insider threats and compromised accounts.
  • (2) Create a Threat Intelligence Platform that can collect, analyze, and share threat indicators across multiple organizations with automated enrichment.
  • (3) Build a Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC) Platform with automated security testing, code analysis, and compliance checking.
  • (4) Create a Privacy-Preserving Data Analytics System using techniques like differential privacy, homomorphic encryption, and secure multi-party computation.
  • (5) Build a Quantum-Safe Cryptography Implementation that can protect against future quantum computing threats with post-quantum algorithms.
  • (6) Create a Security Awareness Training Platform with phishing simulations, interactive content, and behavioral change measurement.
  • (7) Build a Cyber Threat Intelligence Sharing Platform that enables real-time threat information exchange between organizations while preserving anonymity.
