Another Founders' Day for the poetry books!

The Cyber Bowl is the ultimate head-to-head showdown in cyber smarts — a month-long competition from Oct. 1-31 where eight North Carolina universities battle for the title of most cyber savvy. Anyone at Duke can play.

To compete in the Cyber Bowl, visit duke.is/CyberBowl2025, log in with your NetID, and take a short quiz on topics like phishing, passwords, and malware to win points for Duke and be entered to win individual prizes. 

This season, all eyes are on Duke, the powerhouse rival gunning to dominate the leaderboard. We are up against UNC, NC State, NC A&T, East Carolina University, Winston-Salem State University, UNC-Wilmington, and Elizabeth City State University. 

With bragging rights and school pride on the line, we need every Duke student, staff, and faculty member to compete and help Duke win the Cyber Bowl. The team with the largest percentage of players will win the championship and ultimate bragging rights.

Take the quiz and check the leaderboard stats from Oct. 1-31: duke.is/CyberBowl2025
