Inaugural UD cybersecurity competition engages more than 2,000 participants
University of Delaware students studying cybersecurity organized UDâs first cybersecurity games from March 19-21, drawing more than 2,000 participants from more than 700 teams from across the globe.
This student-run event tested participantsâ skills in detecting and defending against a broad range of cyberattacks. In this Capture the Flag (CTF) event, the participants assumed the role of an attacker and tried to exploit vulnerabilities in the systems developed purposefully by the organizers: UDâs Center for Cybersecurity, Assurance and Privacy (CCAP), which is affiliated with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
