ASEAN Cyber Shield 2024
Representing the Philippines at ASEAN Cyber Shield 2024, finishing 15th place.
From November 19–22, 2024, I had the privilege of representing the Philippines at the ASEAN Cyber Shield (ACS) competition held in Vietnam. This event brought together some of the most talented cybersecurity teams across Southeast Asia, creating a highly competitive and collaborative environment.
Our team placed 15th overall, and while we didn’t finish at the top, the experience was truly invaluable. Competing against regional teams allowed us to test our skills in real-world cybersecurity scenarios, refine our problem-solving strategies under pressure, and learn new techniques from some of the best minds in the field.
Beyond the technical challenges, this was a memorable journey on a personal level as well. Spending a full week in Vietnam gave us the chance not only to prepare and compete but also to experience a new culture, strengthen our teamwork, and create lasting memories that went far beyond the competition itself.
Note: The ACS competition reinforced my motivation to keep improving, to aim higher in future international challenges, and to represent the Philippines with pride on the global cybersecurity stage.
