About Us

Security Daemons is an organization for all undergraduate/graduate students interested in Computer, Information, and Network Security. Membership is comprised of students that are interested in all aspects of security from a wide range of degree programs and disciplines:

  • - Information Assurance and Security Engineering
  • - Networking and Network Security
  • - Computer Science
  • - Web Development
  • - Governance, Risk, and Compliance
  • - Anyone interested in security!

As an organization, the Security Daemons host numerous events throughout the year including presentations by current members, alumni, and industry professionals.

Additionally, as an organization we provide a chance for students and organization members throughout DePaul to meet one on one with perspective employers.

Furthermore, members interested in competing will travel to and compete in numerous competitions throughout the calender year to learn new skills, gain real world experience, and to have fun.

Our meetings, website, and social media are for sharing information on security topics, news, classes, internships, jobs, and networking opportunities within DePaul and in the Chicagoland area.

Frequency Asked Questions

Are grad classes easier than their undergrad counterparts?

No, in fact graduate classes and their students are held at a higher level of scrutiny than undergraduate.

Where can I learn more about the club?

Join our Discord and watch our calendar for upcoming events!

How much time should I expect to practice?

Practices days vary depending on the quarter, but typically two of Tuesday/Thursday/Friday (6:00pm - 9:00pm) with an occasional Saturday (10:00pm - 4:00pm)

I'm interested in NCCDC, how do I make it on the team?

Resources to get started are posted on our Discord server under #document-hub. Note: You will need to be verified as a student to gain access to this channel.

Can I join practices remotely?

Unfortunately, no. Most of the competitions we participate in are in-person so a majority of our practices are in-person to better prepare the team.
