Sunway x Kiro Cybersecurity Hackathon 2026
Got a cybersecurity idea? Build it with us.
Sunway Cybersecurity Club is teaming up with Kiro Malaysia for a one-day, in-person hackathon with a cybersecurity theme. In teams of up to 4, you’ll pick a problem, build a working prototype and pitch your solution to the judges. Whether it’s tackling scams, protecting privacy or making apps safer, the idea is yours.
📅 Sunday, 6 December 2026
🕗 8:00 AM to 6:30 PM
📍 Thinkerspace, FET Building, Sunway University
🎟️ Free entry | Limited places
Registration and Confirmation
Register your interest through this Luma page. Every team member must register individually, including the team leader.
Registration does not automatically confirm your place. Final participant confirmation is at the discretion of Sunway Cybersecurity Club, and successful applicants will be contacted before the event.
The Kiro Hero link will be shared only with confirmed participants. A separate form will also be sent later to collect food preferences, dietary requirements, team details and other event arrangements.
How It Works
Choose a cybersecurity problem and build a working solution during the event. Your project could be an app, website or tool—keep it practical and show us what it can do.
We encourage teams to try Kiro during the build. Using it is not a condition for winning.
All teams will take part in preliminary judging, with the top 5 teams presenting live in the finals.
