Raon White Hat Sweeps Overall Championship and Runner-up at the '2021 Cyber Attack Defense Competition'

[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] Security company Raon White Hat announced on the 28th that hacking defense teams mainly composed of its researchers won the overall championship and runner-up at the '2021 Cyber Conflict Exercise & Contest (CCE)'.

The 2021 CCE is a hacking defense competition hosted by the National Intelligence Service and organized by the National Security Research Institute. In September, 282 teams competed in the preliminary round, and the final 30 teams advanced to the finals held on the 26th to compete in hacking defense skills. Under the theme of 'forming cyber herd immunity,' the competition was divided into general and public sectors, with four white hackers from Raon White Hat participating in three general division teams, all advancing to the finals.

Among them, the 'CodeRed' team, which includes core researchers Kang Inwook and Lee Youngjoo from Raon White Hat, won the overall championship, and the 'GYG' team, led by core research team leader Choi Jungsoo, took the overall runner-up and general division championship. Both CodeRed and GYG teams had also won the general division championship and runner-up respectively in last year's competition.

The core research team of Raon White Hat is a group of white hacker experts who have dominated world-renowned hacking defense competitions such as the US DEFCON and China's RealWorld CTF.

Lee Jeonga, CEO of Raon White Hat, said, “We are pleased that our researchers achieved excellent results at the 2021 CCE,” and added, “We will continue to provide comprehensive support so that our white hackers can quickly learn the rapidly changing security technology trends and demonstrate outstanding skills.”
