In the textbook this week, you read about red team/blue team exercises, where a network is set up for the blue team to defend against attacks by the red team.

Sometimes this type of exercise is set up as a competition among blue teams who are all simultaneously under attack from a single red team. The most popular competition of this type is the Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition, the CCDC. This year for the first time, ITAM had a team in this competition.

For this discussion, your assignment is to search the internet for information about cyber defense competitions. There are competitions for high school students and for college students. There are competitions among the various military academies. There are competitions restricted to some types of software or hardware. There are digital forensics competitions.

All I want you to do is find something interesting about one of these competitions. You won't be able to all find different competitions, but you will easily be able to find different information about the competitions. There's some good YouTube videos out there, don't hesitate to go looking for those.

Obviously, don't post the same thing as somebody, but again, you don't have to post about different competitions, just different information. And as always, you must include a link in your post!
