Qualities, this years contenders are certainly feeling the pressure, having battled their way through ethical hacking, cryptography, decoding, logic tasks and much more. while waiting to find out who wins this year, i spoke to an ex—finalist whos now studying cybersecurity at university. and because she is set on a career in the field afterwards, we had to keep her identity under wraps. i think definitely because it is computing there is more pressure to do well because i got to prove myself b...
