New York University’s CSAW, which calls itself the world’s largest student-run cybersecurity competition, this week announced the 397 high school, undergraduate, and graduate students from around the world who will enter its final round. CSAW started in, and is organized by, NYU‘s Tandon School of Engineering. This year, its 15th running, saw 3,500 teams from more than 100 countries enter the games. The remaining contenders will now travel to academic sites across four continents to compete in the finals. The competition was founded in 2003 as a small local event by Nasir Memon, an NYU [Tandon] professor of computer science and engineering. It has since expanded to include eight global events, all of which evolve to host challenges and contests that align with the changing threat landscape.
