The China Information Security Triathlon (http://www.t3sec.org.cn/) has three competition areas: South China, southwest China and northwest China, whose scale and level are remarkable among China's information security competitions. More than 1,000 students from universities across the country competed on 27 teams, 11 from south China, 8 from southwest China and 8 from northwest China, advancing to sectional competitions.

The triathlon involves three continuous competitions:  data analysis for information security, business computing environment security and individual computing environment security. The first competition tests competitors' abilities to analyze network flow, blogs and user behavior from a massive data environment in an actual computing environment based on real data. The second tests their abilities to seek information security in enterprises' actual production environment, such as an industrial control environment, internet of things or cloud computing. The third tests their abilities to seek information security in their working and living environments, as in smart devices and mobile terminals.
