What Is CyberWVU?
•
•
•
•
•
Our goal is simple: broaden the awareness of cyber security and its
importance. We can better equip general users in their day-to-day interaction
with technology by holding workshops on practicing cyber safety, as well as
practicing with industry standard equipment such as Cisco Products.
Additionally we aim to build a legacy of cyber defense that attracts students to
our program and promotes West Virginia University as a university on the
cutting edge of cyber security
As part of this awareness, CyberWVU competes in competitions such as NCL
and MACCDC
No experience necessary!

The National Cyber League (NCL) was founded in May 2011 to provide an
ongoing virtual training ground for collegiate students to develop, practice,
and validate their cybersecurity skills. Using lab exercises designed around
industry-recognized performance-based exam objectives and aligned with
individual and team games, the NCL is a first-of-its-kind ongoing experiment
in learning and gaming using next-generation high-fidelity simulation
environments.
The competition consist of a one week qualifier to determine your bracket.
Brackets are gold, silver, bronze, pewter.
This is then followed with two games lasting 3 hours each. Your total
combined score after both games determines your rank within your bracket.
MACCDC
• MACCDC (Mid-Atlantic Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition) is a
inherit and defend competition. Inherit a pre-existing network, secure
it, and then defend from an active group of hackers all while
completing common business task.
• Teams consist of 8 total members, with an additional 2 alternates.
• “… if you can break in to a system that someone is actively sitting in
front of, looking for you to break in to it, then your skills improve and
the bar is a little higher…” Paul Asadoorian, Security Weekly
