Today, at Palazzo Antonini, we held the award ceremony for the local competition of CyberChallenge.IT 2026 at the University of Udine. CyberChallenge.IT is a national training programme for young talents aged 16 to 24, aimed at recruiting the next generation of cybersecurity professionals.
Congratulations to the top three:

Congratulations also to all the participants in this spring’s ethical hacking training at DMIF.

Many thanks to the instructors and tutors, and to our sponsors karmasec and Danieli Automation.
