Description
Hacking CMMC is a hands-on cybersecurity competition designed to immerse participants in the practical aspects of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). Through realistic, challenge-based scenarios, players explore common compliance gaps, security controls, and threats faced by defense contractors.
The CTF blends technical problem-solving with compliance-driven thinking, helping participants understand how security requirements translate into real-world incidents. It offers an engaging way to learn, test skills, and strengthen readiness for CMMC-aligned environments.
The CTF will be a Jeopardy Style CTF where every team will have a list of challenges in different categories like Reverse Engineering, Web Security, Digital Forensics, Network Security and others.
