Capture The Flag
● Participants are required to share their Cybersecurity profiles, such as their work experience and educational background, to showcase their skill set
● They are also encouraged to provide links to any special certifications or badges they have earned in the field of cybersecurity to further highlight their expertise.
● Participants will be provided with puzzles/programs containing security vulnerabilities.
● Each puzzle has a secret key called a 'flag' embedded within it. Finding the flag proves that participants have solved the particular challenge, and submitting the flag earns points.
● Each problem statement has its own points, which depend on the difficulty of the problem.
● The scoring procedure depends on how many points participants have earned and how much time they have taken to submit the flags.
● The top 15 individual participants, selected from the screening round, will be invited to compete.
● During this phase, participants will tackle advanced challenges across multiple categories. The event will test their technical expertise, problem-solving abilities, and endurance, as they work to solve complex problems.
● This final round will determine the ultimate winners, showcasing the best talent in a highly competitive environment.
Datathon
● Speed: Ensure that the system can process and analyze media content rapidly and with low latency.
● User Interface: Create an easy-to-use interface for cybersecurity professionals, content moderators, and law enforcement.
● Reporting: When a deepfake is found, send detailed reports or alerts that include confidence scores and the nature of the manipulation.
● Final Round: A 36-hour event where participants will develop a working prototype based on their data-driven solution. The prototypes will be presented to a jury, including a live demonstration and a detailed PowerPoint presentation. Solutions will be evaluated on innovation, feasibility, scalability, and impact on defence operations.
● Detection: Use advanced AI and machine learning methods to detect deepfakes with high accuracy while reducing false positives and negatives.
● Real-time Analysis: Process and analyze media information in real or near real time to ensure early detection of deepfakes, particularly in key settings such as live news broadcasts or social media platforms.
● Mitigation: Create ways to reduce the impact of recognized deepfakes, such as watermarking legitimate content, notifying users or platforms, and giving verifiable evidence to dispute bogus information.
● Scalability and Efficiency: Make sure the solution is scalable and can be integrated into several platforms (social media, news outlets, and government organizations) without sacrificing performance.
● Ethical considerations: Address ethical concerns about privacy, data consumption, and the possible misuse of the detection system. The solution should also follow legal guidelines and be flexible to changing requirements.
