CyberCarnival is SRM Ramapuram's flagship cybersecurity symposium — a full day where students, researchers, and industry operators break systems, defend them, and rebuild them better. From live capture-the-flag arenas to red team exercises and hands-on workshops, this is where offensive curiosity meets defensive discipline.
ONE DAY. SEVEN ARENAS. ZERO SANDBOXES.
