Cyber 9/12 Strategy Challenge 2022

5 December 2022 - 7 December 2022

Organized in partnership with the Atlantic Council, the Cyber 9/12 Strategy Challenge is the world’s only global cyber competition for students, designed to tackle the cyber skills shortage through iterated crisis simulation and policy analysis.

Part interactive learning experience and part competitive scenario exercise, Cyber 9/12 challenges student teams from across academic disciplines to respond to a realistic and evolving cyber scenario. Teams analyze threats and develop responses to manage the crisis, with built in feedback loops from expert judges.

The 2022 French Cyber 9/12 competition will be held from the 5th to the 7th of December 2022 in Paris.

The first round and the semi-finals will take place at Campus Condorcet

Then the final will take place at Campus Cyber (Eria Tower, 5 Rue Bellini, 92800 Puteaux).

The French Challenge

The first French Cyber 9/12 competition was held in 2019 at the International Cybersecurity Forum. The scenario examined an evolving cyber crisis with geopolitical impacts during the 2024 Paris Olympics. The last edition brought together about forty students from various international universities and they responded to major cyber incident affecting a French military satellites.

The Cyber 9/12 Strategy Challenge is a unique opportunity to engage with complex cyber issues with no requisite background except an interest in the topic, the desire to learn more and the creativity to find innovative solutions to this new generation of policy issues. It also constitutes an opportunity for the next generation to develop new skills through briefings and feedback with leading experts in the field.
