With their impressive accomplishments at national and global network security competitions in 2016, the ISITDTU team was ranked second in Vietnam and fortieth in the world by CTF Time.
CTF Time is the leading assessment and ranking organization in Information Security, located at https://ctftime.org/. In Vietnam, the BKAV Information Security contest was assessed and approved by CTF. CTF Time reviews Global Information Security contests worldwide, including Hackover 2015, Defcamp 2015, the 2015 CSAW Qualification Round, PoliCTF 2015, the 2015 ASIS CTF Qualification rounds, the WhiteHat Contest and others.
The ISITDTU team has participated in many of these contests and made strong progress so far. In the 2015 ASIS CTF qualification rounds, ISITDTU was ranked fifth in Vietnam and one hundred and eighty-third in the world by CTF.
With more security companies, research institutes and well-known IT universities taking part, the Cyber-Security contests have become tougher, so achieving an in-grade promotion from CTF was a noteworthy accomplishment for the talented DTU students.
The ISITDTU team
Over the years, ISITDTU has won several valuable awards at regional competitions. In 2016 international Information Security contests, ISITDTU achievements included:
(1) Coming 4th in the 2016 SCRT Information Security competition in Geneva, Switzerland, as the only Vietnamese team competing.
(2) Coming 3rd in the WhiteHat Contest 11.
(3) Ranking 7th in the top 10 universities in the 2016 HITB GSEC contest in Singapore.
(4) Coming 6th in the 2016 WhiteHat Grand Prix.
Mr. Nguyen Kim Tuan of DTU Faculty of Information Technology said: “Attending big global Information Security contests and being ranking highly by CTF has broadened opportunities for DTU students to share their experiences, learn more and demonstrate their skills, all of which will provide them with a sound foundation of knowledge and the professional skills necessary to have access to excellent careers on graduation.”
