Sponsoring the Competition
In order to promote the competition's success, we need a strong foundation. Corporate sponsorship allows us to maintain the high quality associated with this program. Sponsorship also defrays institution costs and increases participation and the number of students entering the workforce with this invaluable experience.
By taking an active role in the cyber defense competition, companies get the opportunity to get to know leading students specializing in computer security from a variety of educational institutions. In addition, everyone attending should learn something from observing the students, listening to the red team debrief, and in general talking with the participants, organizers, and other observers.
