About the Challenge

In CyberSage, participants are challenged to build innovative solutions at the intersection of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity using Google Gemini.

The goal is to identify real-world security problems and develop smart, AI-driven tools that can help users stay safe in the digital world. Projects can focus on areas such as phishing detection, password security, misinformation identification, privacy protection, or user awareness systems.

Participants are encouraged to think creatively and build solutions that are simple, practical, and impactful. The focus is not just on technical complexity, but on how effectively the solution addresses a real problem.
