The annual competitions will challenge groups of students to develop and present the best policy recommendations to address hypothetical, high-stakes cybersecurity scenarios. This year, the scenario will feature a cyberattack on the Duke Health system days before a high-ranking cabinet member is scheduled to undergo a procedure at the Duke Hospital. The winners will earn $2,000 and a first-round interview for a potential cybersecurity internship with The Crypsis Group.

“We are excited to partner with Duke on the Cyber Cup this year, and for several year to come,” said Bret Padres, Crypsis’s CEO. “There is a critical shortage of skilled cyber talent—it has been an ongoing gap that organizations around the world have struggled to address. This competition will help inspire and educate students on the complex challenges of cyber policy as well as draw interest in the field of cybersecurity in general.”
Crypsis Group leaders will provide a financial contribution for the Cyber Cup program over the next three years, serve as executive-level judges for the competition, host coffee chats with Duke students throughout the day of the competition, and deliver guest lectures for Sanford Cyber Policy program students.
