The CAE-CD Regional Outreach Competition Committee was established by the CAE- Community of Practice (CoP) – Cyber Defense (CD): 1) to encourage and promote cybersecurity awareness and online safety practices by taking advantage of the cybersecurity outreach CAEs do throughout the year; 2) to maximize the impacts of the CAEs on the community; and 3) to strengthen the collaborative relationships between CAE Regional Hubs and their member institutions. The initiative was originally motivated by the October cybersecurity awareness month and was extended to cover the efforts of the entire calendar for each cycle. The Committee has established a set of criteria and rules. Impact measures include number of groups and organizations that are being impacted, total number of attendees, durations and frequencies of the events, and effectiveness of outreach materials. Diversity measures include the inclusion of minority and underrepresented groups and the spectrum of age groups in the cybersecurity profession. Effort measures include evidence of CAEs who promote and engage in outreach events and the total number of outreach events provided by the CAEs. The Competition started in 2021 with the first cycle results presented in the 2022 CAE Symposium and the second cycle presented this year.
