Quad Cyber Challenge: Fostering a Secure Digital Future

The Quad Cyber Challenge continues efforts to bolster cyber ecosystems and cyber awareness. The challenge focuses on cybersecurity education and fostering robust workforce development, involving events and workshops across India, the US, Australia, and Japan with participation from students, educators, and cybersecurity professionals.

The continuation of the 'Quad Cyber Challenge' was announced by India, the US, Australia, and Japan, geared towards creating responsible cyber ecosystems and enhancing cybersecurity awareness. The initiative's theme this year emphasizes cybersecurity education and workforce development, according to the Quad countries.

The initiative was launched in February 2023, aiming to instill responsible cyber habits nationwide and globally. The National Cyber Security Coordinator of India is set to address students on cybersecurity's importance as part of 'Cyber Swachhta Abhiyaan' during Cyber Security Awareness Month.

Various awareness workshops, involving U.S. events at the White House and cyber discussions in Japan, aim to inspire students towards cybersecurity professions. Australia's Governor-General will host a related event at Government House, Canberra, furthering career interest in cybersecurity.
