CSAW 16

Cyber Security Awareness Week is the largest student-run cyber security event in the nation, featuring six competitions, keynote presentations, workshops, and an industry fair. IIT Kanpur is the official partner of NYU starting this year and will be running CSAW events in parallel and the event is co-branded as CSAW NYU IIT Kanpur.

Every year, it brings undergrad and graduate students together with academic and professional experts to discuss the tools and techniques used by attackers and defenders throughout the field, while students of every academic level (from high school to doctoral) compete in a range of challenges designed to motivate, educate and showcase industry talent.

This year, CSAW is partnering with NYU Abu Dhabi and Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur to expand its reach as an international competition with worldwide impact. Click the buttons above for information on CSAW and CSAW NYU Abu Dhabi.
