They had to update its network infrastructure and create a remote access policy, a disaster recovery policy, and a business continuity plan for the university.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere is a lot of research to be done and you need to put yourself into the place of the client and the attacker,\u201d said Marcet, who serves as president of CySec MDC. \u201cWe realized we were researching things during the hackathon that we didn\u2019t know and it kind of built up at the end. We became more knowledgeable about how it would work.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CyberXL tasked participants with completing four individual weekly challenges including <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cryptography, network traffic analysis, stenography, and open-source intelligence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first challenge involved updating the university\u2019s network infrastructure, so the club proposed the use of industry standards and applicable laws. They created a high-cybersecurity plan, designed a budget, and wrote a policy proposal.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the second challenge, students were tasked with creating a remote access policy. The club proposed using Cisco Webex for video-teleconferencing, paired up with two virtual private networks to provide secure access\u2014Pulse Connect Secure for desktops and Hexnode for mobile devices. Norton Antivirus then created a strong antivirus solution to the network.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The third challenge was creating a recovery plan in case of a cyber-attack or natural disaster. CySec MDC\u2019s evaluations showed that flooding, tornados, high winds and cyberattacks would have the biggest impact on the network.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They proposed setting up a firewall, segregating networks, using at-rest and in-transit encryption, and installing anti-malware and anti-ransomware tools. They also planned for an employee password policy and the use of multi-factor authentication for users.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last challenge involved putting everything together in a business continuity plan and presenting it to the board of directors. CySec MDC included a risk assessment and business impact analysis, as well as how to strategize, develop, implement and maintain their proposal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe most challenging part was [conveying] the information that we wanted into a human-readable format,\u201d Marcet said. \u201cYou needed to be able to transfer your knowledge into something that somebody with non-technological skills [can]<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0understand.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Elias Marcet and Diego Tibaquir\u00e1 founded CySec MDC at Eduardo J.
