The Information Security Talent Search (ISTS) is a three-day cybersecurity competition held each spring at RIT. Teams from RIT and universities nationwide face a wide range of challenges designed to span many aspects of the security industry. Competitors test their incident response skills and offensive capabilities through a CTF, King-of-the-Hill (KoTH), business report writing, and a themed game—all while defending a fully student-built infrastructure.

The Incident Response Security Competition (IRSeC) is our internal beginner-friendly red vs. blue competition, hosted in the fall semester at RIT. Through IRSeC, we aim to provide RIT students with some initial defensive and incident response experience. IRSeC also features an entirely student-run red team comprised of RITSEC members.
