Meetings, Workshops, Talks, and Competitions

This club hosts a multitude of events through each semester. We host workshops and talks held by industry professionals and esteemed faculty. We also compete in national security competitions, and run our own competitions like UMass CTF all with the goal to promote the understanding of security topics. All of our events will be listed our official Discord server, which is linked below if you'd like to join, social media, and our event and meeting tabs.

Thank you to Fortinet for being a Club-Level Sponsor!

Resources to Get You Started

The executive board curated this short list of materials and resources for people trying to get into cybersecurity (reverse engineering, penetration testing) and Capture-The-Flag (CTF) competitions! If you're looking to get started, look in our get started tab!

UMassCTF

The club's very own self-hosted Capture-The-Flag Competition! This CTF competition is hosted by the members of the Cybersecurity Club and usually runs every Spring semester! Students can both help host the infrastructure and create challenges for people all over the world to solve.
