CCSO placed 3rd at this year’s Mid-Atlantic Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (MACCDC).
Nine Systems, 37 Injects, One Active Red Team #
Our team managed a network of nine systems — a router, two firewalls, three Windows servers, and three Linux servers — while working through 37 injects spanning both technical and business scenarios. The whole time, the red team had free rein to probe, exploit, and disrupt whatever they could find. Holding a top-three finish under those conditions took the whole team staying sharp for the entire competition window.
The Team #
Congratulations to everyone who competed: Aidan Ethier (captain), Aiden Johnson, Evan Glickman, Daniel Thiriot, Isabella Masso, Asa Reynolds, Dhrupad Joshi, and me.
This is the same event where CCSO made history two years ago with a historic 2nd-place regional finish — the program keeps getting deeper, and it shows.
