1NTERRUPT is a high school-level cyber defense challenge where teams of students with an interest in cybersecurity can learn and compete in real-world scenarios against a team of trained attackers. The participants are not only challenged on a technical level, but work through real life incident response exercises and must pull together as a team to keep operations rolling while combating a determined attacker. Interested students of all technical levels are invited to participate.
With the support of and sponsorship by Cisco, Akamai, Sophos, Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) and the ICS-ISAC successful events have been held in:
- Worcester, Massachusetts on May 10, 2014
- Atlanta, Georgia on Sept 20, 2014
