Background for this topic.
Contest is a competitive event within the field of information security where participants seek to demonstrate their expertise and skills in various aspects of cybersecurity. These events can range from capture-the-flag (CTF) competitions, where individuals or teams attempt to solve security-related challenges, to defensive and offensive security events that mimic real-world scenarios.
In the context of information security, contests often serve as educational platforms providing hands-on experience, encouraging innovation and problem-solving, and fostering community engagement.

These contests are instrumental in identifying and nurturing talent, highlighting emerging cyber threats, and promoting a better understanding of how to protect against cyber-attacks.
