The hackathon itself will be a 48 hour process from 20 November – 22 November, to ideate and deploy a solution under three categories. All submitted projects will need to incorporate or make a reference to least one dataset, article or infographic, that will be published closer to the date.
Anomaly detection is the process of identifying unexpected items or events in data sets, which differ from the norm. This process can help address problems such as strange bank account transactions, unusual fraud activity, and business risks.
Can you build a system to detect anomalies in a dataset?
Deepfakes are fake videos or audio recordings that look and sound just like the real thing. While still in its infancy, prevalence of this technology is increasingly used for identity impersonation and fraud. Can you build a detection and tracing tool to identify deepfakes?
Cyber security hygiene can help stem the loss of data and business systems from hacking and exploits. Increasingly, poorly defended computer system vulnerabilities are taken advantage of by malware, ransomware and other exploits.
Can you build a cyber security hygiene or exploit mitigation application?

" Digital security is not a one size fits all set up. There’s no one-stop shop or fixed formula that will solve everything. Cybercrime is continually evolving to disrupt security measures, so your business and methods of prevention should continually evolve as well. Prioritize security, hire the best people, and do not stop learning."
" Organisations of all sizes and across all industries face a huge array of challenges around securing the critical data that underpins the way they operate. It’s key for these organisations to protect, open up, and to do more with data. Our goal is to support citizen data scientists, and bring together cloud technologies in creative and innovative ways to solve some of the key problems being faced. "

There are two phases to this hackathon. The first phase involves potentially showcasing your work and upvoting other awesome ideas that were developed. Submissions will be due by 23:59, Tuesday 19 November, and be voted on both by the community and a panel of data science experts.
The second phase involves the hackathon. After you sign up you will be invited via email to our event online collaborative space.
Thank you for volunteering your time and expertise to build innovative solutions! There are few resources you can access.
Thank you for volunteering your time and expertise to mentor innovative teams for this cause! There are few resources you can access.
Team formation is going to be happening in a number of different potential ways. You will be able to work out who is in your team before the competition starts however you won’t be able to officially register your team on the Hackerspace until the competition launches.
Please find the rules and guidelines for both the Project Showcase Competition, as well as the #DigitalDefence Hackathon.
Once you have registered, you will receive a welcome email have access to our dashboard, and Slack space.
HackMakers will organise, lead mentors, and mentors with hackathon experience will facilitate teams to maximise their experience. This includes helping match participants to team and skills, debug code, ideate, introduce to the resources and tools, and effectively present their solution.
We will have over $15,000 worth of prizes generously contributed by our sponsors and community partners.
Further announcements will be made closer to the date of the hackathon!
