About the challenge

The Pangea Securathon Showdown is a great opportunity to build your security skills using Pangea APIs. We’re looking for developers to use one or more Pangea APIs to build a solution and provide feedback along the way. You'll have the opportunity to interact directly with Pangea developers, and win prizes.

Not sure what to build? We put together a fictional scenario to inspire you and get you thinking about what YOU will build. It's just an example and not the theme of the hackathon but hopefully, it gives you some inspiration to come up with a great idea for a submission.

 

Pangea Services to use in the app you build for your submission:

Secure Audit Log - Tamperproof audit trail Redact- Remove sensitive information
Embargo - Check digital export restrictions Vault - Protect secrets and keys
AuthN - Secure login and user management File Intel- Detect malicious files 
IP Intel - Reputation, location, and insights Domain Intel - Detect malicious domain names
URL Intel - Detect malicious URLs User Intel - Credential breach data
File Scan - Scan files for malware Secure Share - Share files securely

Requirements

What to Build

Build an application using one or more Pangea services. (Example: Secure Audit Log) If you're submitting a project from a previous Pangea Securathon, you must include at least one additional Pangea API that wasn't in the previous solution.

 

What to Submit

  • A URL to a functional demo application built using Pangea APIs.
  • A URL to a code repository for your project. The repository must be accessible to our judges, contain a README with instructions on running the project and where Pangea APIs are used. If the project is Open Source it must use an MIT or Apache open source license.
  • A text description explaining the features and functionality of your project.
  • A demo video of your project that meets these criteria:
    • Around 3-5 minutes in length.
    • Uploaded and made publicly visible on YouTube. Include this link in your submission form on the hackathon website.
    • Must not contain third-party trademarks, copyrighted music, or other material.
    • Includes an overview of the project, its features, and how Pangea was used.
    • Includes footage showing the project running on the device for which it was built.
Tips to get the highest score possible and make your submission stand out to the judges:
  • Modify an existing production application with real workloads
  • Use more than one Pangea Service
  • Showcase how easy it is to change risk thresholds or align to different compliance standards
