Digital Defense
NETWORKS
UNDER ATTACK -
There is a war going on, one without bullets and explosives. It's a
digital attack on the information systems of our government, military,
companies and individuals around the world.
This Digital Combat Exercise (DCE) is a
closed network security exercise between geeks. It's an
honor to have the bragging rights for the entire year, and the
inflow of business that occurs with this prestigious win is also
nice. Some companies
talk security, others do security, come see the best of those
who do! Free to
the public, teams from the Cyber Information Security conference
- CIScon. |
The skills we need to defend our country
change constantly. If you aren't keeping current, how well
can you defend yourself, your family or your business.
People are counting on YOU to protect them. Are You READY?!
Most people may have never seen
or don't fully understand what is happening on the digital combat
front. This event gives EVERYONE a chance to fully understand how
computers can be compromised.
