SheSecures is an initiative aimed at providing women with a fun and practical way to strengthen their technical skills through virtual cybersecurity exercises. Through this initiative, the OAS/CICTE seeks to help close the gender gap in cybersecurity and promote diversity in this industry, encouraging and inspiring women and girls to develop their technical skills and learn more about this field.

SheSecures Uruguay consists of an online national cybersecurity exercise made up of 8 technical challenges based on real-world scenarios and the experiences of distinguished women in STEM. Participants must complete the challenges to advance to the next levels and earn points. At the end of the exercise, the participants who earn the most points will win a prize.

This exercise is aimed at women over 16 years old who live in Uruguay and want to develop their technical skills and enter the cybersecurity industry. The exercise will cover topics such as artificial intelligence, incident response, cryptography, web hacking, and forensic analysis, among others. If you have no prior knowledge of these topics, don’t worry, as you will be able to request hints to complete the challenges if you get stuck at any point. To participate, you only need an Internet connection (with no specific outbound traffic restrictions) and a computer with Windows, Linux, or MacOS, capable of installing tools.
