Qualifiers are “find and fix” style events where teams will demonstrate foundational cyber security skills.
Objectives may include detecting and removing malware, hardening systems, correcting misconfigurations, and so on.
Regional events follow the traditional CCDC model in a Virtual environment.
Each team will be presented with a small business network and tasked to secure, operate, and defend that network while completing business tasks, servicing customer requests, and fighting off a live Red Team.
The second place team from each Regional is invited to compete in the Wildcard, similar to the ALCCDC Qualifier event.
The winner of the Wildcard is invited to attend the National competition.
All ALCCDC events are virtual and you will need (at a minimum) the following technology:
Webcam capable of displaying your team’s competition space
A laptop/computer for each competitor
An HTML5 compliant browser
Zoom client for web conferences and breakout rooms
Discord for communicating with competition officials during the event
A VPN client which will be downloaded from the ALCCDC VPN server
The ALCCDC follows the National CCDC rulesets found on the National CCDC website at http://nccdc.org
Additional rules specific to each ALCCDC may be used during ALCCDC events.
Rules will be published and sent to teams prior to any event.
Any questions regarding rules can be directed to event coordinators or asked during the pre-event team webinar.
