Competition held at HITB+ CyberWeek in UAE, winners hail from Russia.

At this year's Positive Hack Days, teams of attackers, defenders, and security operations centers (SOCs) waged cyberbattle in The Standoff for the fourth time, fighting for control of a mock city's digital infrastructure.

This year's PHDays 9 included Industrial Ninja—a contest of skill at hacking a gas pumping facility. At the PHDays venue, we created three stands that, at different levels of difficulty (No Security, Low Security, High Security), emulated the same industrial process: pressurized air was pumped to inflate, and then deflate, a balloon.

At PHDays 9, we added something new to The Standoff: a hackathon for developers. Teams of attackers and defenders fought for control of a mock digital city, as usual. But all the while, there were also developers working around the clock to make application updates and maintain uninterrupted uptime under a crush of attacks.
