Learn cybersecurity by competing.
We’re the student-run Cyber Competition Club at St. Cloud State University. We train together, travel to national competitions, and defend live networks under pressure — no experience required to start.
What we do
Competition is the curriculum.
Every week we run hands-on labs and scrimmages that build toward real events. You’ll touch systems administration, incident response, network defense, and offensive security — and you’ll do it as part of a team.
CTF & offensive skills
Reverse engineering, web exploitation, forensics, and cryptography through the National Cyber League and open CTFs.
Team & career prep
Mentorship from veteran members, résumé and interview workshops with industry, and a direct line to employers who hire from the club.
