With the projected higher demand for Network Systems Analysts and increasing computer crime, network security specialists are an organization’s first line of defense. The principle function of this paper is to provide the evolution of Collegiate Cyber Defense Competitions (CCDC), event planning required, soliciting sponsors, recruiting personnel for the operations, red, white and blue teams. Information on one school’s preparation will be provided with a review of what could have been improved to prepare their team for the competition.
