Our Focus

We aim to teach students new skills and allow them to apply the skills they learned in class in the club to hands on exercises.

Beginner Workshops

Our organization holds weekly workshops during the semester to teach members new things in the security industry.

Community

We've built a thriving discord community that allows members to discuss current security events, share resources, and network.

Competition

We attend multiple competitions throughout the year focusing on red/blue/purple teaming & we even host our own competition, GDDC!
