Baltimore, MD - November 25, 2019

Point3 Security is excited to announce that it will be powering the Maryland Cyber Challenge for the second year in a row. The challenge will take place in Baltimore from December 5-6 at the Hyatt Regency Baltimore Inner Harbor. The competition invites high school and college teams to test their skills against real-world cyber scenarios. Event attendees will be able to hear CEO Evan Dornbush’s talk, “Why Capture the Flag Matters”, which examines the benefits of Capture the Flag competitions, and will then have a chance to see a live tournament. Point3 Security’s ESCALATE will be used to power the competition, which will be played “Jeopardy!” style as teams work together on both defensive and offensive operations.

“We are excited to see some new and old faces at the competition on Thursday. This competition demonstrates the capabilities and promise our youth brings to cybersecurity,” says Evan Dornbush, CEO & Co-Founder of Point3 Security, Inc.
