Social engineering exploits human trust to breach defenses, often serving as the gateway for such threats. Meanwhile, AI, while a powerful tool for innovation, can also be weaponized to automate attacks, craft convincing phishing schemes, and outpace traditional defenses. Together, these factors create a complex web of vulnerabilities that demand innovative thinking and technical expertise.<\/p>\n This competition is not about AI tools themselves, but rather how social engineering is influenced by the use of AI tools. The competition seeks to engage students\u2019 critical thinking by focusing on issues of efficiency, validity, quality, and automation when it comes to using these tools in the context of social engineering and AI.<\/p>\n For more information, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The SEC allows students to compete in a\u00a0purely<\/em> 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.<\/p>\n The\u00a0theme<\/strong>\u00a0for the\u00a02024<\/strong> competition is Tax Scams<\/strong>, and the event will be taking place\u00a0virtually<\/strong> on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.<\/p>\n The exact dates are To Be Announced.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Please note that we have merged with the CollegiateSECTF, which was held in October, to streamline our efforts and resources.
