CodiLime is proud that Poles achieve highest prizes not only in algorithmic contests, but also in those related to the IT security.
For the company this is a particularly important achievement, as the one of Dragon Sector members – Sergiusz Bazański is CodiLime employee responsible for the network administration and security.
“Although we already have some experience in such contests, every one of them is a challenge for us” Sergiusz Bazański admits.
“During the competition we have to find the bug in the code of the program, properly adjust the given hardware, and all this knowing that several other teams attempt to achieve the same goal. However, I must say that winning with the world’s best hacker teams gives us enormous satisfaction!”
