From November 8 to 10, “SheSecures Paraguay 2024” will be held, an event aimed at Paraguayan women interested in the field of information security. The competition will offer a unique opportunity for participants to develop their technical skills in a 100% online environment.
The activity will consist of a series of eight technical challenges, based on real scenarios and the experiences of prominent women in cybersecurity. Participants will be able to face these challenges individually or in teams, at their own pace, over a period of 48 hours. The winners will be awarded with certifications and specialised courses in the area of cybersecurity.
The event is open to women over 16 years of age who reside in Paraguay and who wish to enter the cybersecurity industry. Topics to be covered include artificial intelligence (AI), incident response, cryptography, web hacking, forensic analysis, among others.
The exercise will be held via the HackRocks platform, and will be available for 48 hours starting on November 8, offering participants flexibility to solve the challenges at a time that suits them best. Those interested can register on the SheSecures event’s official website.
SheSecures Paraguay 2024: Prizes for the winners
The team or participant that accumulates the most points will be awarded with an annual Platzi license, an online learning platform, as well as other prizes such as an annual Hackrocks PRO license, and a WOMCY CyberMaster membership.
SheSecures Paraguay seeks to close the gender gap in the cybersecurity industry and promote diversity by encouraging women and girls to explore this increasingly relevant field. With this initiative, it is hoped to empower more women to actively participate and become leaders in the cybersecurity sector.
SheSecures Paraguay 2024 is promoted by the Cybersecurity Program of the Inter-American Committee against Terrorism (CICTE) of the Organisation of American States (OAS), in collaboration with the Ministry of Information and Communication Technologies (MITIC), the General Directorate of Cybersecurity and Information Protection, and the Cyber Incident Response Center (CERT-PY). This type of activity aims to offer a practical and fun way for women to strengthen their cybersecurity skills.
