In an inaugural InterUni Bug Bounty Challenge jointly organized by the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Singapore Management University (SMU) from 12 August to 9 September 2020, students and staff from the two universities will get to hone their hacking skills by looking for vulnerabilities (or ‘bugs’) across the digital assets of their respective universities in exchange for monetary rewards, or bounties.
To kick off the InterUni Bug Bounty Challenge, we sat down with NUS Chief Information Technology Officers Tommy Hor to learn more about the Challenge, why cybersecurity is so important to educational institutions like NUS, and more.
