The event will take place from May 10th to 12th, 2024, at the Movenpick Hotel in Lalëzi Bay, Durrës. This gathering aims to bring together young people, representatives from academia, and national CSIRTs (Computer Security Incident Response Teams) from six economies in the Western Balkans region.
The focus of this event is to enhance the knowledge of young individuals interested in cybersecurity and/or ICT fields. The program will cover topics such as cyber hygiene, governance, and cybersecurity threats. Additionally, participants will engage in real simulations using the Cyber Drill platform.
