Mastercard Cybersecurity Hackathon

Are you ready to tackle real-world cybersecurity challenges? To mark ‘Cybersecurity Month’ we invite you to join us at the Mastercard Challenge Hackathon, a cybersecurity-focused event for students of Ulster University and North West Regional College.

This is your chance to collaborate, innovate and make a real impact on cybersecurity solutions.
