Dear friends,
For the second consecutive year, Greece will be present at the major pan-European cybersecurity competition European Cyber Security Challenge 2017 (ECSC '17). The competition aims to find, attract and promote a new generation of talents in the field of cybersecurity through a series of demanding tests! The ECSC '17 will take place from October 30 to November 3, 2017 in Malaga, Spain, where Greece will participate with a 10-member team, aiming for high distinction. The organization and coordination of the Greek participation has been undertaken by the Department of Digital Systems of the University of Piraeus.
