CyberTitan

 
How to Register a Team

 

To qualify for the CyberTitan national finals, coaches of Canadian teams have to register through CyberPatriot (an international competition run by the U.S. Air Force Association) and compete online from November – March. You can enroll up to 5 teams of 2-6 players per team.

The top 10 Canadian CyberTitan teams who participate in CyberPatriot will then automatically advance to the CyberTitan national finals and have the opportunity to compete in Ottawa in May. 

Don't wait, team registration closes on October 2nd, 2024!

How to Become a CyberTitan Coach

 

If you are a current educator in the middle and secondary Canadian school system, you can be a coach. Create a volunteer (coach) account on CyberPatriot to get started!

You don’t have to be a cyber expert any more than a football coach has to be good at playing football!

  • Coaching a CyberTitan team involves organizing students, providing support and encouragement, and doing paperwork (something all teachers know about!)
  • You will need a PC running Windows 10 or newer and a reliable internet connection

Once you’re signed up with a volunteer account on CyberPatriot, follow these directions to register a team.

Competition Details

 

CyberTitan teams can compete in two divisions: 

Open Division:  High school students from schools, scouting units, Boys and Girls Clubs, home school programs, STEM programs, etc. 

Middle School Division: Middle school students from schools, scouting units, boys and girls clubs, STEM programs, etc.

The early rounds of the competition are done online during weekends from the teams’ home locations (schools, homes, libraries, etc.). Prior to the rounds, teams download “virtual image” representations of operating systems with known flaws, or cybersecurity “vulnerabilities.” Teams must find the flaws while keeping computer functions (“services,” such as email) working. Team progress is recorded by a central scoring system. 

The competition challenges teams of high school and middle school students to find and fix cybersecurity vulnerabilities in virtual operating systems. Using a proprietary competition system, teams are scored on how secure they make the system.
