Security Dawgs
Security Dawgs is a registered student organization (RSO) that focuses on computer and network security. Weekly meetings typically include both defensive and offensive cybersecurity tutorials and activities such as capture the flag (CTF) events. All skill levels are welcome, and members may choose to further their involvement by trying out for a position on one or more competitive teams. Past teams have participated in the National Cyber League (NCL), HiveStorm, and Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (CCDC). Individuals who choose to compete in one or more events earn recognition, jump-start their career, and bring positive exposure to SIU, our School, and its programs.
The Security Dawgs RSO has remained current and competitive thanks to the generous support of employers, alumni, and friends, who have graciously donated their time and resources to the development of its members. The Security Dawgs RSO is actively seeking individuals and organizations to be involved as sponsors, judges, exercise designers, and general support staff. If you would like to be involved or know someone within your organization who could help, please let us know.
