Capture the Flag: Cyber Security Challenge Day

You’re invited to be a part of ICA’s first Capture the Flag: Cyber Security Challenge Day.

📅 Tuesday, 14 July 2026

🕘 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM

📍 Flinders Tonsley | Level 3, Room 3.08

This full-day event is designed for university students from any background who are interested in cyber security—whether you’re just curious or already developing technical skills. No prior experience is required.

Step into the role of a security analyst as you solve real-world challenges and uncover hidden “flags” across systems, code, and networks. The day kicks off with a Cisco-led Capture the Flag competition (with the opportunity to progress your Ethical Hacker badge), followed by a live cyber-attack and defence simulation in teams.

You’ll be guided throughout the day by ICA experts Richard Dodsworth, Alistair Macvicar and Tina Fotouplos, sharing practical insights and tips.

Why attend? This is a chance to build practical, job-ready skills, gain exposure to industry tools and ways of working, and connect with experts and peers in a rapidly growing field.

What’s included:

• Hands-on Capture the Flag competition (Ethical Hacker badge eligible)
• Live cyber-attack and defence simulation
• Guidance from ICA and industry experts
• Free lunch and refreshments
