“Being in the Cyber Security program has allowed me to focus on learning about network security and has allowed me to enter into a new sector of the workforce. It's been awesome! The opportunities at Red Rocks have been amazing, from competing in the National Science Foundation's Community College Innovation Challenge, to going to industry events like the Rocky Mountain Information Security Conference.”

Cybersecurity Club
Welcome to the Red Rocks Community College Cybersecurity Club Homepage
The 'Cyber Security Club' is made up of RRCC students interested in furthering their knowledge in the technical realm of information, networking and security. Club members have access to a cyber lab learning environment which consists of a server rack equipped with enterprise level components. The environment is isolated from the school network which allows students to create, explore and learn from a hands on approach. The club competes in the RMCCDC (Rocky Mountain Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition) which takes place once a year and is a good demonstration of our club's knowledge and ability to defend a network. Every student is welcome especially those interested in cyber security, computer technology, network technology, programming and website development.
What to expect from the Cybersecurity Club
We have many opportunities for students to enhance their skills including:
- Industry guest speakers
- Club carpools to events about hacking, security, networking
- YouTube learning sessions
- Hands on experience with hardware/software and network tools/hardware

A few of our former club officers, Jon and Bruno, went to the 2017 NSF CCIC and took second place for creating the 'Cyber Lab' in which our club meets and practices in. For more on that experience click here.
