At its heart, CPTC is a bit different from several other collegiate Cybersecurity competitions. Instead of defending your network, searching for flags, or claiming ownership of systems, CPTC focuses on mimicking the activities performed during a real-world penetration testing engagement conducted by companies, professional services firms, and internal security departments around the world. /posts/sponsors/ Mon, 23 Jun 2025 18:30:00 -0700 /posts/sponsors/ /posts/event-details/ Mon, 23 Jun 2025 18:00:00 -0700 /posts/event-details/ Location: Stanford University, Science & Engineering Quad Free Visitor Parking: Via Ortega Garage, 498 Vía Ortega, Stanford, CA (Google Map: https://goo.gl/maps/DTBvrp99QJ9drJ5Q7) Saturday 11/08/2025 - DAY 1 COMPETITION / HUANG ENGINEERING BLDG BASEMENT 9:00am - Teams expected on-site / Team registration / Breakfast available 9:15am - Regional welcome remarks 9:30am - Introduction presentation by CPTC Organizers 9:50am - Teams released to their assigned rooms 10:00am - Assessment phase begins 12:30-1:30pm - Lunch available /posts/teams/ Mon, 23 Jun 2025 17:00:00 -0700 /posts/teams/ California State University, San Bernardino City College of San Francisco Colorado School of Mines Oregon State University San Francisco State University San Jose State University Stanford University University of California, Berkeley University of California, Davis University of Nevada, Reno /posts/thanks/ Mon, 23 Jun 2025 15:00:00 -0700 /posts/thanks/ Stanford School of Engineering: https://engineering.stanford.edu Global CPTC: https://cp.tc /posts/previous/ Mon, 23 Jun 2025 14:00:00 -0700 /posts/previous/ CPTC Western Regional 2024: https://cptc-west.stanford.edu/2024 CPTC Western Regional 2023: https://cptc-west.stanford.edu/2023 CPTC Western Regional 2022: https://cptc-west.stanford.edu/2022 CPTC Western Regional 2021: https://cptc-west.stanford.edu/2021 CPTC Western Regional 2020: https://cptc-west.stanford.edu/2020 CPTC Western Regional 2019: https://cptc-west.stanford.edu/2019 CPTC Western Regional 2018: https://cptc-west.stanford.edu/2018 /posts/transparency/ Mon, 23 Jun 2025 14:00:00 -0700 /posts/transparency/ In the interest of full transparency, this addendum publicly identifies any current or prior affiliations for organizers of CPTC West.
