The Indian Army has begun registrations for “Terrier Cyber Quest 2026,” a national cybersecurity hackathon. The competition is aimed at building skills related to cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and digital awareness, and it proceeds under a structured set of tracks for participants.
NDTV reports the event is launched by the Territorial Army and CyberPeace, describing it as a hackathon focused on cybersecurity and digital threats. Times of India adds that the programme includes three tracks: Bug Hunting, AI Kavach, and the National Creators Challenge. Both sources frame it as a platform for participation and recognition, with Times of India specifying potential outcomes for finalists and winners, including certificates, medallions, cash prizes, and national recognition, and possible opportunities linked to defence establishments and future initiatives.
While the outlets agree on the event’s purpose and national scope, they differ mainly in emphasis—NDTV highlights the organisers and application timing details, while Times of India provides more information on the competition tracks and the forms of recognition.
