Please submit a one-page abstract to cansecworkshop2021@gmail.com using this form at by October 27. Notifications of accepted presentations will be sent out by November 2.

Cyber-Defense Competition

The goal of the competition is to provide students with a platform to apply theoretical knowledge into practice, and to obtain hands-on cyber security experiences. It is a one-day competition, in which student teams will be asked to oversee a small corporate network, to manage all critical services and to defend against external attacks. Scoring will be primarily based on the availability of the services and how the attacks and injects are handled. To compete, please submit a list of student team member names, along with email addresses, to cansecworkshop2021@gmail.com by October 27.
