Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (CCDC)

The Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (CCDC) challenges students to defend network services against attacks by professional penetration testers (the "red team"). While the red team is trying to hack into each of student networks, students are also given business tasks to perform such as adding users, changing web content, and creating budgets and project timelines. It makes for an exciting weekend! DeVry's Seattle campus sent a team to the first annual Pacific Rim Regional CCDC in 2008, and we are headed back for the 2009 competition on March 28-29. CCDC provides valuable career-oriented experience for our students and it gives them contacts with competition sponsors such as Microsoft, Cisco, and Napera.
