Cybersecurity Interdisciplinary Incident Response Competition (CIIRC) 2024
Overview: The Central Texas Cyber Range located at Baylor University is hosting an interdisciplinary cyber competition that seeks to challenge students’ ability to work through complex, real-world, practical problems by placing them in leadership positions within a company that discovers it has been the subject of a cybersecurity breach. The competition will span multiple disciplines, such as IT, Legal, Communications, Business, Behavioral Science, Mathematics, Engineering, and Political Science.
Teams are comprised of representatives from a collection of disciplines who must work together to provide a unified response. As a group, the team must identify and remediate a breach of their assigned network, propose a response to the breach, assess the relevant legal circumstances, and develop a communications plan to present it all.
When: Fall 2024. The competition will span two days, including a post-contest analysis for team feedback. (More details to come.)
Team Size: Five students per team. Students must be a full-time undergraduate student in a four-year institution located in the United States.
