About
CyberPatriot is an international secondary school competition about cybersecurity, system hardening, and computer-related problem-solving. Teams assemble a group of up to five to defend and secure multiple systems in each competition. Rounds occur throughout fall and partway through the spring, culminating in the National Finals competition in Baltimore, MD. Each round, your team is placed in the midst of a cybersecurity crisis which you must contain and mend within six hours.
During the competition, teams work to remove viruses, secure databases, ensure settings are correct, audit users and policies, identify backdoors, and much more. They will work with Windows 10, Windows Server, Ubuntu, and Cisco Packet Tracer in the first three rounds, with the semifinals adding Debian or Fedora.
The best way to learn about this exciting, fun, and challenging competition is to experience it yourself, starting with the training and practice rounds. Contact a club representative to learn more!
