[LINK] 2012 Cyber Defence University Challenge

[Tom Worthington]

The Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, 
Senator the Hon Stephen Conroy, has announced the 2012 Cyber Defence 
University Challenge: 
http://www.minister.dbcde.gov.au/media/media_releases/2012/028

This is a cyber security competition for undergraduate university 
students, to be held over 24 hours starting 3 April 2012. There are 
prizes from Telstra. The details of the challenge are unclear, with no 
web site provided for the event. Students have been encouraged by the 
minister to register with their university, but I was unable to find any 
registration details on any Australian university website. But there is 
an email address for further details: Challenge at pmc.gov.au

The Minister mentioned the Government’s Cyber White Paper, due out by 
June 2012:
