UMBC's Cyber Defense Team is looking for new members. This semester the team competed in the Collegiate Cyber Defense Championship. In this competition, each team defended a mock corporate network against a horde of professional hackers in a fast-paced, real-time event over the course of two days. These competitions are a great way to network with government agencies and key companies in the security industry.

The UMBC Cyber Defense Team provides a great opportunity to gain practical, hands-on experience in information security, intrusion detection, cybersecurity, and network security. The team practices both penetration and defense of isolated networks similar to real business environments. The group meets at 7:00pm on Mondays in ITE 367 and will have special events that will be announced also. No experience is required, but you should be motivated to learn about computer networks and systems security.

You can find additional information and how to join our mailing list at the UMBC Cyberdawgs website. Contact Marc Warfield (marc9 at umbc.edu) for more information.
