MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT & CHAIR, KERRY AUGUSTINE
The Canadian Cyber Defence Challenge (CCDC) is pleased to announce our 9th annual cyber defence challenge will be held May 5 - 7, 2021. This year we are collaborating with the Vancouver International Privacy & Security Summit (VIPSS) | RebootCommunications Ltd. (Reboot) to provide a virtual challenge event. The challenge activities will be available online to student participants/teams registered across the country and broadcast via live-stream updates available on the VIPSS virtual platform. In addition to participating in the online cyber defence challenge, all registered students/teams will be granted two-day VIPSS conference passes. This is an exclusive offer and opportunity for students to participate in a world-class conference event with international subject matter experts from government, private sector, and academia as they discuss the major impacts of how Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing, Cybersecurity, Big Data, E-Commerce, Bioethics, Facial Recognition, Data Governance and Innovation, will shape our future.
CCDC invites teachers, students, and business sponsors to be part of this year's 2021 challenge event. Sponsorship is open to organizations across Canada.
The Canadian Cyber Defence Challenge provides an unprecedented opportunity to prepare the new generation of students in the challenging and ever-evolving industry of Information, Communications and Technology (ICT). It is a chance for 200+ students from schools across Canada to learn and get excited about our great industry and to meet with and learn about your organization. I invite you to put your organization front and centre with future leaders by sponsoring the 2021 Canadian Cyber Defence Challenge. The CCDC is able to hold the Challenge because of the generosity of its sponsors. In turn, the CCDC makes sure students, attendees, and all event delegates are aware of your support and have the opportunity to learn more about your company and its services. We will continue the tradition of offering extensive networking opportunities alongside new exciting branding occasions for every budget and will work closely with you to make sure your involvement provides a return on your investment.
We look forward to your support of future industry leaders at the Canadian Cyber Defence Challenge.
Sincerely,
Kerry Augustine,
President and Chair
REASONS TO SPONSOR THE CHALLENGE
The competition promotes the study and awareness of information technology and cyber security in schools across Canada and is open to students in grade 9–12 with an appetite to learn about real-life industry challenges.
Students work in teams of 4 and receive hands-on training in an educational learning environment as they defend and protect a fictitious company against simulated REAL-LIFE security breaches, documenting their findings and presenting their results and recommendations to a panel of industry executive judges.
