Cyber 9/12 Student Challenge event 2016

The LSE sent a team of four students and a coach to the Geneva Centre for Security Policy to compete in the Cyber 9/12 Student Challenge hosted at the centre in conjunction with the Atlantic Council. The competition involved students acting as external consultants to a team of European policy makers. A security brief concerning a cyber DDOS attack on a Serbian energy company was the prompt for a written and an oral response outlining policy alternatives to counter the threat posed by the hackers.
