The IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society (AESS) is pleased to announce the 2025 Call for Challenge Problems in Cybersecurity. This marks the second round of the AESS Challenge Problem Series, building on last year’s successful radar-focused initiative.

AESS invites proposals for innovative and impactful cybersecurity challenge problems to be unveiled at the 2025 IEEE International Carnahan Conference on Security Technology (ICCST), taking place in San Antonio, Texas, from October 14–17, 2025.

Selected proposals may receive grant funding of up to $25,000 to support the development and execution of the proposed challenge problems.
