The challenge brings together professionals and enthusiasts in cybersecurity, cyber defense, ICT industries for a day of friendly competition and networking.

Health
Much of Rwanda lies at too high an elevation for malaria to be a major concern, but the disease is present and prophylactic drugs are recommended. Travellers should seek professional medical advice on taking anti-malarial medicines and take precautions to avoid mosquito bites, especially between dawn and dusk.
Travellers should ensure they are up-to-date with vaccinations, following the advice of their local healthcare provider, and should consider bringing a small first aid kit. A certificate of yellow-fever vaccination is required.
It is advisable not to drink tap water. Bottled mineral water can be bought in all towns – make sure the seal is intact.
