In line with society's increasing digitalization, and thus our increasing attack surface, we need Denmark's most important national team as protection. This is according to Professor Jens Myrup Pedersen at the Department of Electronic Systems who is the national coach for the National Team in Cyber Security.

"It is so important that we are able to protect ourselves and our digital infrastructure. These young people can help us with that," he says.

Jens Myrup Pedersen was with the country's ten most talented young cyber security experts and hackers at the European Championships in Italy in the autumn where they represented Denmark as the Danish National Cyber Security Team.

In the new mini-documentary, you can get up close and personal with the national team and follow them behind the scenes during their participation in the championship.
