The SEC allows students to compete in a purely social engineering experience that is grounded in the social sciences. The competition offers a timely and unique platform for students to learn about social engineering in a hands-on, engaging, and ethical manner. The competition has a different theme each year to demonstrate the relevance of social engineering across various cybersecurity areas and is open to high school, undergraduate, and graduate students.
The theme for the 2024 competition is Tax Scams, and the event will be taking place virtually on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
The exact dates are To Be Announced.
Please note that we have merged with the CollegiateSECTF, which was held in October, to streamline our efforts and resources. Our Twitter handle remains the same: @CollegiateSECTF and all announcements will be made via this account and this website.
Registration for the 2024 Social Engineering Competition is in early Spring
