CyberAuto Challenge

Applications for the 2025 CyberAuto Challenge are open.

The 2025 CyberAuto Challenge will run from July 14th - July 18th and be held in Greater Detroit.

The CyberAuto Challenge is the oldest and longest running event that focuses on automotive cybersecurity (established in 2012). It seeks to inspire and train the next generation workforce and puts students in teams with industry, government, and hackers/researchers to work on real platforms and full systems. Trainers are among the best in the world. The classes change every year, but for the past several years we have emphasized electrical vehicle & infrastructure, forensics, and wireless attacks. Students from schools in 14 different countries have participated (as of 2024). We are strongly industry friendly, and our sponsors have made it possible to hold this annual event at no cost to the participating students.

The 2024 CyberAuto Challenge was made possible through the generosity of our Titanium Sponsors - Ford, Toyota, and Toyota Tsusho Systems US - as well as the other listed sponsors (see above) and work from the Michigan Economic Develop Corporation.
