A high-impact event designed to teach students to analyze and respond to security and geopolitical threats in a real-time simulation
About this Event

Join us to watch the panelists judge the teams results and to watch the crowning of the Champion for the 2025 Seerist Intellithon, from a pool of students from Norwich University, The Citadel, Virginia Tech, and Virginia Military Institute.

The students will be participating in a real-time scenario gathering pertinent intelligence and developing a strategy in which they overcome the the issue in question.


An example of the kind of real-time scenario the students will engage could be one in which a national energy grid in a Southeast Asian country has been targeted in a sophisticated cyber-attack. Hackers have infiltrated Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, causing widespread rolling blackouts and threatening critical infrastructure stability.

Objective:

• Analyze the attack using cyber intelligence tools (malware analysis, attribution techniques).

• Assess whether the threat actor is state-sponsored or a criminal group and determine their motivation.

• Develop a mitigation strategy to contain the attack and secure the power grid.

• Present recommendations to senior leaders on preventing future incidents.

Geopolitical Risk Element:

This attack takes place amid rising tensions in the South China Sea, where military posturing and territorial disputes heighten the risk of regional conflict. Students must evaluate how this incident could:

• Escalate geopolitical tensions in the Indo-Pacific.

• Impact U.S. allies and national security interests.

• Influence broader geopolitical and economic strategies.
