Twenty teams from thirteen friendly nations are competing in the Armithon 2024 international competition, which is in its second edition and is geared toward armies and security agencies in the fields of cybersecurity and encryption. The Jordanian Center for Design and Development (JODBY) is organizing the event, which is being held at the Intercontinental Hotel in Amman for the second day in a row.

Four dialogue sessions between the competitors, experts, specialists, and decision-makers in the cybersecurity and encryption fields were part of the competition activities. These were arranged into four main axes: cybersecurity and artificial intelligence integration; digital investigations and cybersecurity; drone integration and cybersecurity countermeasures; and critical infrastructure.

Notably, the Armithon 2024 competition—which focuses on cybersecurity and encryption—is the first of its type in the Middle East and North Africa, spanning three days. In addition to practical applications for drones and their operating systems, it covered difficulties in the areas of data encryption, social media platform information collection, digital investigations and their resolution, and cloud computing.

The competition's sponsors, local and international speakers, and the chairman of the Higher Steering Committee, the Director General of the Jordan Center for Design and Development (JODBY), were honored off-site.
