On November 20, the international cybersecurity competition “ARMYTHON”—focused on cybersecurity and applied cryptography among the armed forces and security agencies of various countries—was held in Jordan.
Considered the most prestigious cybersecurity competition in the Eurasia–Africa region, “ARMYTHON” brought together 37 selected teams from 28 countries. Participants are required to demonstrate advanced knowledge, experience, and professionalism in solving complex cyberattack and cyber-defense scenarios, as well as tasks related to modern challenges in applied cryptography.
Azerbaijan was represented in the international “ARMYTHON” competition by two teams, both of which achieved strong results. The “Land of Fire” team of the State Security Service’s (SSS) National Cybersecurity Center distinguished itself among international competitors and was awarded second place. The “Iron Fist” national team, composed of specialists from other relevant state institutions, secured sixth place.
This achievement once again reaffirms the growth of Azerbaijan’s cybersecurity potential and the global competitiveness of our national specialists.
