What is Oklahoma Cup
Oklahoma Cup is an Oklahoma invitational contest that is very similar in style to the AFA CyberPatriot competition. The emphasis of the Oklahoma Cup is to give teams extra competition and training in the field of cybersecurity. Each round of the Oklahoma Cup will have teams fixing flaws, securing settings, cleaning up malware, and answering forensic questions. Each round will include virtual machine images of Windows Desktop, Windows Server, Linux Desktop, and Cisco Packet tracers. Teams may contain between 2 and 6 members. There will be a two-day window available for each round that teams can choose when to compete in. The images will have a timer allowing the teams to advance as far as they can in a three-hour window.
Who can participate
Any Oklahoma teams with a coach are eligible. This includes adult students that would not be eligible for CyberPatriot.
Where teams compete
Teams will compete remotely. The images will be available to download in advance so coaches can have a competition area prepared in advance for the competition date. The images will report to a live scoreboard where team members and coaches can see how they are doing versus other teams.
