Cyber Security initiative

This initiative is to provide research, support, and education for the members of BDPA who have drawn interest in cyber security. The purpose is to develop and deploy competent learners in to the world of cyber security through meetups, coursework, and lab exercises throughout the school year including summer. This area of computer science needs a collective of curious minds, intellects, and problem solvers to create a foundation going for this area of BDPA Memphis. There will be competitive events such as “Capture The Flag” CTF to develop people as well as draw interest. This is a new frontier for BDPA but with interest and personnel, it can develop and grow Memphis into a potential cyber security pool of talent.
