Cyber Club
The UWF Cyber Club is open to all students interested in learning about cybersecurity topics and participating in cybersecurity-related activities. The club competes in cybersecurity competitions and discusses cybersecurity research.
Meetings:
Join us every Friday in Building 4, Room 248, at 4:30 pm.
What We Do:
We aim to offer practical and tangible ways to apply the skills learned in the classroom. Through providing training, resources, tools, and opportunities to compete in competitions, we help students gain real, hands-on experience that goes beyond basic coursework. Our program fosters networking with peers and industry leaders, including Booz Allen Hamilton, the UWF Center for Cyber, Navy Federal, various DOD departments, and Black Lantern Security. We challenge students to think critically and push their limits, preparing them to bolster their resumes and excel in the real world.
