Student Aviation Cyber Challenge

The aviation industry is under siege, and the future of cybersecurity depends on the next generation of cyber defenders. This year’s Student Cyber Challenge, hosted in Zurich, Switzerland, on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, invites the brightest minds to test their skills in a high-stakes simulation.

Building on the success of last year’s event, participants will face a full-scale cyberattack on a major Swiss airport. From compromised aircraft controls to disrupted baggage systems, students must outthink and outmaneuver adversaries to restore order and secure critical aviation infrastructure.

With cash prizes for the top teams and an unparalleled opportunity to showcase your expertise, are you ready to take flight and defend the skies?

Registration open to current undergraduate or graduate students in cybersecurity, computer science, engineering, aeronautics, or a closely related discipline at their University. Team of 3 required.
