Securathon - Cybersecurity Hackathon

Securathon is a cybersecurity-oriented hackathon conducted by DevC and Hackelite, where participants will identify and solve real-world cybersecurity problems by designing and implementing practical software solutions.Participants are encouraged to incorporate suitable cryptographic algorithms and follow OWASP Top 10 security practices while developing their projects. Projects will be evaluated based on the effective use of cryptography, security practices, technical implementation, and the overall quality of the solution. Why this event? In an increasingly interconnected digital world, sophisticated data breaches and emerging cyber threats have made security an essential part of modern software development. Many software projects prioritize rapid feature development and deployment, often leaving applications vulnerable to fundamental security weaknesses. Securathon aims to address this gap by encouraging participants to adopt a "security-by-design" mindset.Through the practical application of robust cryptographic algorithms and adherence to OWASP Top 10 guidelines, participants will work on real-world security challenges and build solutions that prioritize confidentiality, integrity, authentication, and resilience.The event aims to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and practical cybersecurity engineering while equipping participants with skills required to develop inherently secure digital infrastructure. Judging Criteria Projects will primarily be evaluated on: Use of Cryptographic Algorithms Security Implementation OWASP Top 10 Compliance Technical Implementation & Design Real-World Relevance Overall Quality of the Project Registration Fees Securathon Event Pass: ₹99 - Access to Securathon only.
