The CCI is excited to announce the launch of the 2018 California Cyber Innovation Challenge (CCIC)! The CCIC is a statewide high school cybersecurity competition designed to introduce more students to cybersecurity as a future course of study and career.
The CCIC is open to all California high schools and will begin with regional qualifying rounds in spring 2018. Sixteen teams from these regional qualifying rounds will participate in the state championship round on June 23-25 at the CCTC.
Working collaboratively as a digital forensics investigative team, the students must collect and analyze a combination of digital and physical evidence in order to stop a health care themed cyber plot. Competitors will use state-of-the-art forensics tools to extract and collect digital evidence. Using a combination of technical, analytical and persuasive skills, each team must then “prove their case” to a panel of expert judges. During the health care network challenge, young entrepreneurs and innovators will solve cybersecurity puzzles and challenges designed by Cyber Security Analysts and Cal Poly Professors. The health care network challenge will use the https://ctfd.io/about/ framework for the scoring.
