The three teams will compete against the remaining seven finalists from the Republic of Korea, Ukraine, the US, Russia, France, and Poland for the final round in Hanoi in mid-October. This will be an offline 8-hour straight race covering the challenge of overcoming hardware security breaches.
With the theme “Legends of Vietnam”, the Whitehat Grand Prix 2018 has attracted a record number of participants, with 720 teams from 79 countries around the world, including 146 teams from the host Vietnam.
The champions will walk away with US$10,000, while the second and third runners-up will be awarded US$2,000 and US$1,000, respectively.
The WhiteHat Grand Prix – Global Challenge was launched on a national level by WhiteHatVN.com in 2014, the leading cyber security forum in Vietnam. In July 2015, the company began rolling out the global competition on a quarterly basis thanks to the collaboration with the Authority of Information Security (AIS) under the Vietnamese Ministry of Information and Communications.
The competition aims to create a venue for the cyber-security community to share experiences and techniques with others, while keeping them updated on the latest technologies and developments in cyber security.
