Following last year's partnership between VicOne and Block Harbor to launch the first automotive-focused capture-the-flag (CTF) competition, the two cybersecurity powerhouses return this year to continue their mission of building skills and capabilities in automotive cybersecurity.

Global Vehicle Cybersecurity Competition (VCC) aims to equip and inspire the next generation of cybersecurity experts through hands-on, real-world challenges in a CTF-style competition. Happening virtually from August 22 to 25 and August 29 to September 1, 2025, this competition gathers a diverse and talented pool of participants from all around the world at all skill levels — from first-time players to seasoned professionals — to learn, upskill, and contribute to building a safer future for connected vehicles.
