Can you manage to flood Friesland?

In this challenge, your mission is to open a pumping station by finding the correct entry point. The scenario combines IT and OT, reflecting how critical infrastructure, such as pumping stations and sewage systems, is managed in practice. It is designed for ethical hackers who are ready to take on the role of the Red Team.

Prefer to defend rather than attack? Join the Blue Team and use OTconnect’s monitoring software to detect malicious activity and gain valuable insights into defending operational technology environments.

Finding the right talent, or the right job opportunity, remains a considerable challenge in today’s labour market. Employers often struggle to find candidates with the skills they need, while applicants may not recognise how their existing capabilities match available roles.

To help bridge this gap, Security Delta (HSD) has developed a toolset that focuses on tasks and competences rather than job titles and CVs. By identifying and matching the competences required for a role with the skills individuals already possess, the toolset supports smarter, more effective decision-making for both employers and talent.

The toolset consists of two complementary tools:

  • Tool 1 identifies and maps an individual’s IT and security competences.
  • Tool 2 identifies the competences needed to achieve a specific organisational goal and matches those requirements with available talent (identified through Tool 1), highlighting the best fit and revealing competence gaps.

These tools can support a wide range of workforce challenges, including identifying talent, building competent project teams, and finding the most suitable education or training for a role.

Expand your laptop sticker collection with limited edition stickers from the ONE Conference, the Municipality of The Hague and many of our partners. Partner organisations are also invited to contribute their own stickers, making this the perfect place to discover new designs, swap with fellow attendees and extend your collection.

Discover three European-funded projects working to strengthen cybersecurity skills and digital resilience across Europe.

CyberHubs builds a European network of Cybersecurity Skills Hubs that connect education, industry, and policy stakeholders. The project addresses cybersecurity talent shortages by mapping skills needs, developing national strategies, and creating opportunities for innovation, training, and career development.

Digital4Security is a pioneering European Master’s programme in Cybersecurity Management and Data Sovereignty, designed to equip professionals and organisations with the technical, regulatory, and strategic skills needed to respond to today’s cyber threats.

CYCERONE focuses on closing the cybersecurity skills gap through free, specialised training programmes tailored for organisations, particularly SMEs and public administrations. Its goal is to help organisations strengthen cyber resilience and develop secure digital infrastructures through practical learning and expertise.

Together, these projects showcase how European collaboration is shaping the next generation of cybersecurity talent, education, and organisational resilience.

At ITvitae, we educate neurodivergent young people to become ICT specialists, with a focus on cyber security, Java development, cloud engineering, or data science. Through coaching, we prepare them to develop both their technical expertise and workplace skills. After graduation, we help them find a job that matches their strengths. Many companies value the focus, problem-solving skills and attention to detail that neurodivergent talent brings. With our experience, we’re able to match the right person to the right role, creating lasting benefits for both the candidate and the employer.

The main task of Defence Cyber Command (DCC) is planning, preparing and conducting military cyberspace operations, by order of the Chief of Defence. DCC provides digital striking power for peace and security, by taking action in and through cyberspace, independently or together with military and civilian partners, and thereby contributing to the overall operational striking power of the armed forces. For that purpose, DCC develops and achieves cyber effects, supports the armed forces in the integration of cyber and is the knowledge authority for military cyber operations. DCC’s three core values underline its work: decisiveness, expertise and connection.

Talent & Youth

Discover initiatives that inspire young people to pursue a future in digital security. Meet organizations that invest in emerging talent and develop the cybersecurity skills of the next generation.

From Cybercrime Prevention to Talent Development
Every year, young people with exceptional digital skills end up on the wrong side of the law — not because they lack talent, but because no one offered them a better path. We are changing that.
We are running a Proof of Concept in Almere together with Stichting Cyberbrein.NL and the Municipality of Almere: a structured program that identifies young people at risk of cybercrime, redirects their skills, and guides them towards meaningful employment in the cybersecurity sector.
Our approach is grounded in evidence — combining early detection, intensive mentoring, ethical hacking training, and employer matching — and embedded in a local ecosystem of public, private, and civil society partners.
The goal is not just to help fifteen young people in Almere. It is to build a replicable playbook: a practical guide that enables any municipality in the Netherlands to set up a similar ecosystem from scratch.
At the ONE Conference Talent Hub, we share what we are learning — about what works, what doesn’t, and what it really takes to turn a ‘cyberbrain’ into a CyberPro.

Young cybersecurity professionals that are in the early stages of their careers need a safe and trusted environment to develop their skills, build their resumés further, explore the world beyond their first job assignment and create a network that can help them when a cyber security incident takes place and urgent mitigation is necessary. This is why many of the organizations that receive our services allow their employees to spend a few hours on Connect2Trust. Each volunteer receives guidance and support in the execution of their tasks that is based upon a learning goal that is identified at the beginning and evaluated periodically. This offers employers a unique way to attract and retain young talent by allowing them more variety and a social contribution to a safer Europe as well, while the young talents can develop their skills in working with large multinationals across sectors and countries under the guidance of seasoned experts in many cybersecurity fields.
