CDE (Cyber Defense Exercise) is a red/blue team competition held annually by the UMBC CyberDawgs club, open to all students. Whether you’re a seasoned expert or started using a password manager yesterday, competing in CDE is a great way to learn and stay sharp.
Teams of up to 4 are allowed, and you can plan them ahead of time or find teammates the day of. Signups will open closer to the event.
CDE 2026 will be on Saturday, October 3rd. Signups coming soon!
