ISSA'ers,
If you're interested in gaining or learning cybersecurity skills, we encourage you to attend the UMBC Cyber Defense Team's CTF competition. Details from their organization's event description and website are below. Make sure to register!
Event Description from Cyber Dawgs:
Like last year, the competition is open to all current UMBC students and also we would like to extend the same invitation to a few other schools to participate as well! Our goal is to provide an environment where students can learn and execute both offensive and defensive security practices that are relevant in today's industry. We invite both beginners and experts alike.
Prizes will be awarded to those who come in 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. There will also be door prizes for randomly selected participants as well as T-Shirts for everyone! Some prizes from previous years include Raspberry Pis, a Wireless Pineapple Nano, a YARD Stick One, and a Chromebook! We will also be providing breakfast and lunch for everyone. Along with free food, we will also have some of our club sponsors at the event for participants to network with throughout the entire event so don't forget to bring your resumes!
All of those interested in participating will need to bring a laptop and register beforehand, and we'll provide the rest! All competitors must register individually. Registration and participation is free so follow this link: https://goo.gl/forms/svhN8pkdEyfy4gme2 and sign up! Please be sure to indicate any dietary restrictions on the registration form as well as your T-Shirt size. For any more information regarding the event, feel free to consult our website: http://umbccd.umbc.edu/dawgctf or send us an email!
We really hope to see you there!"
