About Us
Our organization provides a platform for Ohio State students to compete in the prestigious annual Embedded Capture the Flag (eCTF) competition hosted by the Mitre Corporation, a challenge focused on embedded security within cybersecurity. Students design, implement, and test security systems, gaining hands-on experience in secure software design, systems engineering, and advanced software development. This competition fosters critical skills such as project management and teamwork, preparing students for real-world challenges in the tech industry. By participating, students enhance their knowledge, resilience, and professional growth while bringing greater recognition to Ohio State's commitment to excellence in cybersecurity and embedded systems.
