As part of the competition, participants took part in a Jeopardy-style format that tested their knowledge on Forensics, Reverse Engineering, Computer Network Defense-Hardening, and Penetration Testing. Polytechnic University of the Philippines was declared as the winner with 1,702 points against the runner up Asia Pacific College with 1,402 points.

The Cyber SEA Games is a contest that aims to promote cybersecurity awareness and to train and develop young security professionals among ASEAN member states. PUP will now represent the Philippines in the Regional division of the Cyber SEA Games in Indonesia. This time, however, PUP will be competing against students from other South East Asian nations, including Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Thailand.
The winner of that contest shall then be invited to participate in the Cyber Security Contest to be held in Japan in 2016.
