Five students from the HSE Tikhonov Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics (MIEM HSE) have ranked among the top ten finalists of the major cybersecurity competition POC CTF. The final, held in Seoul (Republic of Korea), brought together 50 students and professionals representing leading global companies and universities in the field of cybersecurity.

In late October 2025, HSE University students achieved outstanding results in several Capture the Flag (CTF) competitions on information security. Five students joined the Moscow national team, which won the Russian Sports Programming Championship, while three other HSE teams became finalists and winners of the UralCUP CTF and the Kuban CTF tournaments. The CTF Academy, an initiative that brings together students and teachers, has served as a central hub for building HSE's CTF community.
