During the competition, the Acba Bank team identified the largest number of vulnerabilities on the digital platforms of partner organizations.
“As a result of the event, our team discovered vulnerabilities, which, once eliminated, will make our partners’ banking applications more secure. In the field of cybersecurity, this is a systemic problem, and the vulnerability of one affects everyone. In this way, we are improving the security of the entire banking system,” said Vagharshak Iskandaryan, Director of Information Security and Cybersecurity at Acba Bank.
“We are holding this event for the second year in a row, and this year the teams were particularly strong. The first place went to the Acba Bank team.

As a result, the bank only became stronger,” said Komitas Stepanyan, Director of IT and Cybersecurity at the Central Bank of Armenia.
