These are awards from my time as part of the cybersecurity team at UC Davis. Our team competed in two main competitions:
The Collegiate Penetration Testing Competition (CPTC) and
The Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (CCDC).
In CPTC, we role-played as a penetration testing firm working on a social media company's security, while in CCDC, we acted as IT department hires tasked with maintaining and securing company services while keeping a separate red team at bay.
