About ACM Cyber

Cybersecurity sounds hard. We get it. ACM Cyber holds workshops throughout each quarter geared towards novices and hobbyists curious about the world of cybersecurity, on topics such as forensics, web hacking, cryptography, and reverse engineering. We also hold Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions in which teams can participate collaboratively to solve cybersecurity challenges. All our events are open to anyone and everyone, even if you have no experience whatsoever.


Our mission is to create a community in which both experts and beginners alike can grow in the field of cybersecurity skills and knowledge. We want to make cybersecurity simple and accessible for everyone. To that end, we hold workshops and special events designed for beginners with no experience or just beginning in cybersecurity.

........

Each quarter we hold a series of Cyber Academy workshops focused on specific key topics in cybersecurity. This year, for Fall we have Forensics; Winter is Web Hacking; and in Spring we’ll cover Cryptography. All of our workshops don’t have prerequisites. Anyone is welcome. Feel free to come to one even if you had to miss a previous one! The major event we have each quarter is our CTF After Dark competitions, where you can join a team or go solo and solve cybersecurity challenges. We emphasize on making CTF After Dark very beginner friendly, as a fun introduction to CTF competitions. Feel free to participate even if you haven’t come to our workshops!

........

We post all our events’ information on our website, on our Facebook Page, and in our newsletter. Each week, we also send out an email about upcoming Cyber events, interesting Cybersecurity news, and write-ups about exploits and CTFs!
