The Final Round of WhiteHat Grand Prix 06 is about to take place on December 27, 2020. The journey of its 6 competitions has step-by-step brought Vietnam's cyber security to the world. Over the years, WhiteHat Grand Prix gradually becomes a familiar competition at the end of the year for those who are interested in cyber security globally and receives praises from international friends.
WhiteHat Grand Prix starts as a CTF contest organized by WhiteHat.vn and Bkav Corporation for young people who are passionate about information security in Vietnam. By 2015, the competition was officially expanded globally. Sharing about the milestone that made WhiteHat Grand Prix become a world-class cyber security competition, CEO of Bkav, Nguyen Tu Quang wrote: “I remember making this decision 6 years ago. My employee who is also a leading cyber security expert questioned I feel not confident to design challenges for world top players. Should we adopt it yet? Now you know the answer”.

Through the share of Bkav's CEO, WhiteHat Grand Prix's journey to its global reach must be definitely not easy. In addition to the essential factors such as professional background, extensive knowledge in the field of cyber security, confidence in their own qualifications and capabilities is also important. Organizing a competition equivalent to those of technology powerhouses like the US, Russia, South Korea, etc. is the clearest testament to Vietnam's intellect and prestige. Over the past 6 years, the number of participating teams has increased 9 times, from 66 in the first competition to 739 teams from 84 countries and territories in the sixth one.
