The ISITDTU team has participated in most of the contests ranked by CTF Time.

At the end of the Online Contest, the ISITDTU came up with five solutions to score 1,001 points, only bettered by the HCMC University of Technology team and three from leading security companies.
The PPP team from Carnegie Mellon University, one of the four leading American IT universities, was ranked first by CTF Time.

With the transfer of twenty-programs, DTU IT students of Information Technology have already received several valuable awards.
Nguyen Huu Tuat, the ISITDTU team leader said: “Attending a big competition with so many strong teams like PPP has broadened my perspective in System and Information Security. In collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University, DTU has invested in a state-of-the-art Information Warfare Center, where we can access all the latest information.”
