What is the Olympiad?

The CCoE Cybersecurity Olympiad is a national-level competition designed to introduce school and college students across Bangladesh to the world of cybersecurity — through structured challenges, fair assessment, and a clear pathway to recognition and further learning.

It is not just a competition. It is a talent identification program. The best performers earn recognition, certificates, and priority access to CCoE's national training pipeline as they progress to university.

Everything is designed to be accessible. You do not need a background in cybersecurity to participate. If you can think logically, pay attention to detail, and enjoy solving puzzles — this is for you.
