COMPETE IN GDDC

Compete in the Great Dane Defense Competition! Our premier red-vs-blue cyber defense competition. Complete injects, solve CTFs, secure endpoints, and maintain system uptime during simulated cyber warfare.

OVERVIEW

GDDC is a red-vs-blue team competition, assessing students’ ability to deal with a high-pressure, technically demanding simulation of a real-world incident response scenario. Competition teams are challenged with maintaining service availability and defending systems under the constant pressure of active attacks from our student and alumni Red Team. While working to secure their systems, teams are tasked with implementing business objectives, completing capture-the-flag challenges, and communicating incidents to C-suite executives.
