Man on the street competition designed by GCHQ and Cyber Security Challenge

GCHQ and the Cyber Security Challenge have developed a new competition for people not working in security.

The contest, called ‘Network security in the protection of intellectual property’ will allow any UK citizen to take on the role of a security manager at a small electronics company, which has recently won a bid to supply components to the Ministry of Defence.

Once registered, the short online assessment will task them with ensuring that the company’s IP and valuable data are not stolen by cyber criminals and sold on the online black market. Registration is open until this Friday and the game will run for two weeks until 19^th July.
