Hacking Contest Pits Dubai Government Agencies Head-to-Head

Dubai government agencies competed in a capture-the-flag hacking contest at the GISEC Global cybersecurity conference and expo in September. Teams from different government organizations competed for cash prizes in the live competition.

Why it matters: Government security teams in the Middle East are investing in hands-on security skill development; practitioners should monitor regional cybersecurity capability maturation and competition outcomes for threat modeling insights.
