RPI’s Computer Security Club, RPISEC, traveled to New York this past Friday to participate in NYU-Poly’s Cyber Security Awareness Week, placing second in Application Security Capture the Flag, and both first and second in the security quiz.
CSAW is a computer security competition where students from around the US participate in team challenges involving computer security. Cash prizes were bestowed upon those in first, second, and third place, scholarships were granted to NYU students, and travel grants were given to those who qualified.
Other events at CSAW included:
- Cyber Forensics Challenge (for high school students only)
- Embedded Systems Challenge
- Research Award
- Security Awareness Poster Competition
International students were also free to compete online, however, students were only eligible for final rounds and prizes if they were from the contiguous US.
