About this event
This month we are delighted to welcome Rhys Driscoll - Deputy Director, Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security at The University of South Wales – who has set up and been running the administration for ACE Cyber Security Competition – which aims to engage those students aged 14-18 from across schools and colleges – currently not served by cyber competitions. Now in its second year the finals saw over 50 young people from Wales and England taking on some gruelling CTF challenges provided by Industry supporters, where during the online rounds they have engaged more than 1,600 young people from across the UK that have taken part in this year’s competition.
