DCC offers Cybercrime and Cybersecurity students opportunities to compete in regional and national competitions. We strive to give our students every chance to test their skills and earn experience relevant to their chosen careers.
DCC's Cyber Knights Cybersecurity Club is compiled of students in the Network Engineer and Cybersecurity programs, although any student is welcome to join. Our meetings cover a variety of topics in the cybersecurity industry and sometimes include Capture-The-Flag (CTF) challenges or tech and software demos. The next meeting date and related information can be found on the monitor outside Room 106 in the Taylor Building.
