Congratulations to our colleagues Felix Mayer and Markus Vogl for an outstanding performance at the Austria Cyber Security Challenge 2025!

After both of them had to compete against hundreds of other participants in the online qualification, they were also able to prove their skills in the final in Dornbirn in competition with Austria's top IT security experts. Markus Vogl and his team achieved a fantastic fourth place in the open class (national championship), while Felix Mayer and his team even won the senior category.

We are delighted that RISE was so strongly represented at this important competition. The Austria Cyber Security Challenge makes a valuable contribution to promoting young talent and strengthening digital resilience in Austria and Europe. Digital resilience and IT security are also important topics for RISE. We are all the more proud when our colleagues demonstrate their expertise at this high level.

A big thank you to Cyber Security Austria CSA for the organization! We hope to see you again at the 2026 final.
