When
Midnight – 11:50 p.m., April 18 – May 5, 2022
Where
You can participate in the hackathon as a complete team or join as an individual. This hackathon is open to undergraduate, graduate, and Ph.D. students and early-stage startups.
Focus Areas
Hardware:
- How could Artificial Reality/Virtual Reality technologies help visualize cybersecurity operations?
- What other kinds of interfaces could help control and manage cyber-security operations?
- Are there commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies that could enhance the user experience?
- How could this technology be designed to work in a field scenario? Picture a soldier in a remote environment.
Software and Data:
- How would you fuse and visualize large data sets, especially those focused on cyber operations?
- Are there data visualizations tools that can improve the ability of cyber analysts to track and monitor threats in real-time?
- Would a HUD or gaming interface present the data in a functional/usable configuration?
- How do you gamify the analysis of large data sets? How do you showcase and activate cyber defensive actions?
- Are there gamification technologies to increase cybersecurity professionals’ focus on key signals? What cues could tell a red, blue, or purple operator that they are seeing/experiencing something important or critical?
