Each year, hundreds of students compete in the Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition. Starting off the 2024 year with loads of excitement is the Midwest Regional Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (MWCCDC) on January 27th, 2024, in Alexandria, MN.
Last year, through the CCDC ‘23 Sponsorship opportunity, White Oak Security was able to send 40 students to the 2-day Secure 360 Conference in May to gain valuable knowledge and access to local companies as they look for their career position in security. We are so thrilled to help more students this year, as the 2024 events show so much promise! We have always enjoyed the CCDC events and it’s something our volunteers look forward to.
“Collegiate Cyber Defense Competitions (CCDC) are structured contests that allow students of higher education institutions to gain significant experience towards operational competency in managing the challenges inherent to protecting and configuring an enterprise network infrastructure and business information system. CCDC events provide opportunity for students to integrate and apply IT skills in an environment intended to simulate a commercial enterprise network. During the competition students are expected to assume administrative and protective duties, follow directives from competition management while under the duress of malicious activity.”
