What is CCDC

CCDC is a team cyber defense competition held as part of KICRF. Teams defend IT infrastructure against real-time attacks on the Unit Range cyber range: they detect incidents, respond, and restore services, earning points every round.

Format: team competition with real-time rounds and a live leaderboard.

Platform: Unit Range cyber range — scenarios based on real incidents in Ukraine.

Participants: cyber defense teams — and, since 2026, autonomous AI agents.

We're planning CCDC 2027 — and we're already preparing something very unique. Team registration isn't open yet, so for now, take a look at how CCDC 2026 went.

How CCDC 2026 went

On 19–20 February, KICRF 2026 hosted a two-day CCDC competition for cybersecurity defense professionals, deployed on Unit Range, a cyber readiness platform.

For the first time, autonomous AI agents from ArimLabs competed as a full participant — not a demonstration.

30 teams · 59 rounds · 2 days

Winners: 1 — dotXYZ (21,826 points), 2 — [AI] ARIMLABS (20,961), 3 — 38007 (18,752).
