Secure9 is our annual cybersecurity event, held in celebration of Cybersecurity Month. Since its launch in 2019, Secure9 has become a cornerstone for raising awareness about cybersecurity within the company, among our employees, but also customers, and alumni members. The event blends engaging content with practical exercises, making complex cybersecurity concepts more accessible, enjoyable, and easy to apply in everyday work.
Each year, Secure9 focuses on a central theme, and this year’s topic, “Better Safe Than Sorry,” brings trendy and essential cybersecurity insights. The event also features renowned speakers who share their knowledge to help participants strengthen their digital defenses. One of the main attractions of Secure9 is the Capture the Flag (CTF9) competition, where participants can test their hacking skills. Whether they go solo or form teams, participants are encouraged to collaborate with colleagues, customers, and alumni, adding a sense of teamwork to the challenge.
