Cyber Defense Competitions are a chance to learn and teach about practical Information Assurance in a fast-paced and real-world environment. Teams of competitors are given a limited amount of time to build and secure a network that provides required services. These networks are then attacked by a team of experienced instrusion specialists whose only goal is to compromise these networks, and even bring them down. Teams are scored based upon the security of their networks, quality of their documentation, usability of their systems (as scored by competition guests on the Green Team), and their participation in other fun events during the course of the competition.

Registration for the upcoming CDC has closed. If you still wish to participate, e-mail msulliv (the '@' symbol) iastate.edu

The Iowa State University Information Assurance Center, in association with ISEAGE, and IASG put on four CDC's every year: an IASG-sponsored ISU-only competition, a Community College competition, a National competition (in which the top two teams from the ISU and Community College competitions may compete), and a high-school level competition as part of IT-Adventures.
