CyberForce is the Department of Energy's blue team competition. Teams keep a simulated critical infrastructure company running while a red team attacks it. I compete on RIT's team.

2026

Upcoming · Role: web and related services

Same role as last year: defending the web and related services.

2025

9th of 93 teams in the US

This competition was outside my usual skillset in offensive security, specifically web app and API security. I used those offensive skills to secure our team's web infrastructure, and I ran mini-pentests of the web apps to make sure everything was locked down. I also found and fixed vulnerabilities and detected intrusions.

I gave a talk on it at RITSEC: CyberForce experience.
