The best cybersecurity students in the world came to Rochester Institute of Technology to battle in the Collegiate Penetration Testing Competition (CPTC) global finals Jan. 9-11. The event wrapped up the largest offense-based cybersecurity competition for college students, which was created by RIT. The UMass Cybersecurity Club Competition Team placed third globally.
During the competition, the team identified critical vulnerabilities in a simulated cruise company, produced a comprehensive 100+ page technical report, and delivered a formal executive-level presentation summarizing their findings and recommendations. Big thanks to Brian Levine, Manning CICS, and all of the organizers at CPTC and RIT for making this experience possible. Read more about the competition here.
