Cyber threats don’t announce themselves—and in this challenge, neither will you. Burrowing the Business is more than a catchy title—it’s a wake-up call. WiCyS members will explore what happens when a company is slowly, silently infiltrated by an adversary. You’ll work with Target’s team of cyber professionals to understand attacker motives, leverage threat intelligence to write detections, and design an incident response plan—all while building confidence in your technical decision-making. This immersive program includes kick-off meetings, office hours with the Target team, peer cohorts, and top-tier coaching for the finalists. No experience needed—just your curiosity and commitment. 🔗 https://www.wicys.org/benefits/cyber-defense-challenge-made-possible-by-target/ (fb)
