A week of future-facing cyber activities, demonstrations, and thought-inspiring seminars has drawn to an end following the conclusion of HITB+CyberWeek 2019, a pioneering cybersecurity forum held at Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi. Presented by Hack In The Box (HITB), a cutting-edge platform for technical talks and trainings in cyber security knowledge, HITB+CyberWeek 2019 was the biggest HITB event of the year and engaged over 5000 visitors as they experienced multiple activities and a variety of cybersecurity learnings designed to educate people of all ages.

Culminating in the Pro Capture the Flag (PROCTF) final, a hacking competition for professionals from around the world, the winning team ‘Bushwhackers’, along with the second and third placed teams ‘LCBC’ and ‘mHackeroni’, shared a total prize pool of US$100,000 in cash.

Featuring teams from the UAE for the first time, PROCTF is a new style of attack and defense contest that was battled out over three days as 19 teams from around the world competed for PROCTF glory.
