UCF - Cyber Defense Team Takes First in Nation, Victory Photo Displayed in Times Square
The eight-member team from the University of Central Florida (UCF) was the 2014 winner of the Raytheon National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (http://www.nationalccdc.org/). This competition is focused on the security tasks associated with administration and protection of an operational “commercial” network. Unlike other stand-alone competitions the NCCDC recognizes the best team in the nation for overall performance at multiple cybersecurity competitions. The UCF team beat nine other regional winners at the two-day event held at the University of Texas at San Antonio. (http://www.nationalccdc.org/index.php/competition/about-ccdc/standings)
