Data mining competition

FedCSIS 2023 Challenge: Cybersecurity Threat Detection in the Behavior of IoT Devices is the 9th data science competition in the series. This year, the task is related to cybersecurity – participants will construct scoring models to detect anomalous operating system behavior of IoT devices under attack. The challenge is sponsored by Łukasiewicz Research Network – Institute of Innovative Technologies EMAG and EFIGO sp. z o.o. companies.

The competition is held at the KnowledgePit online platform managed by QED Software – the company which is specialized in the development and deployment of innovative AI / ML / Big Data products and solutions.
