The Global CyberPeace Challenge (GCC) is a worldwide competition for recognizing talent in offering solutions to pressing cybersecurity problems. The objective is to tap into innovative approaches to solve critical real-world, technical and policy challenges. The first two editions of GCC saw over 3000 participants from over 70 countries.[1]

Overview

Three competitions comprise each GCC.

  1. The Cyber Policy and Strategy Challenge
    A simulation of an international cyber crisis that tests teams' strategies, policies, and knowledge of foreign policy and cybersecurity against necessary trade-offs, the clock, and each other.[2]
  2. Capture the Flag[3]
    • Irrespective of experience, age or nationality, anyone can participate in the CTF to prove their Cybersecurity skills
    • Information Technology:
      • Participants/teams are provided puzzles with security vulnerabilities, with a secret key called "flag" embedded. Finding it means participants have solved the challenge and earned the points.
      • there are Cryptographic, Steganographic, Web-based, Reverse engineering, Networking, and Forensics puzzles.
    • Operational Technology:
      • participants receive remote VPN access to a nonhardened Industrial Control System (ICS) platform with preconfigured vulnerabilities
      • participants must determine the IP range of the OT Network, the devices connected to the network, the running protocols, and the vulnerabilities, and then exploit the system to gain access.
      • A Proof of Concept report with proper screenshots must be sent to the organizer
      • participants need to secure their system before entering the OT Network as it will be attacked by the other attackers
  3. The Peace-a-thon's objective is to have participants compete over who can provide the most secure DNS Infrastructure to the community based on real-time DNS threats.

Editions

As of May 2022, there have been three editions.

GCC 1.0

GCC 2.0

GCC 3.0

  • ICANN Board Chair Maarten Botterman spoke on ICANN’s role in addressing DNS security threats at the Global CyberPeace Challenge 3.0.[4]
