The Collegiate Penetration Testing Competition (CPTC) provides an opportunity for student cybersecurity teams to discover, exploit, and provide mitigation recommendations for security vulnerabilities in an authentic but fictitious business infrastructure. This competition focuses on “offense for defense” – improving the security posture of the client by communicating risks in a manner that mimics a professional offensive engagement.
Notably, the Western Region has soundly dominated the Global CPTC competition since 2018, taking the 1st place spot every year but one.
The CPTC Western Regional will be held at the beautiful Stanford Science & Engineering Quad on November 11 & 12.
