The students also will be flown in to tour Raytheon&#8217;s Government Cyber Operations center near Washington, D.C., this summer.<\/p>\n<p>Raytheon and other organizations interested in enhancing cybersecurity, including U.S. Homeland Security, McAfee, Boeing, Walmart and Amazon, among others, sponsored this year\u2019s competition. The competition, in its ninth year, was organized to help students gain hands-on experience that merges theory and practice, to create awareness about cyber defense and to give higher education institutions a way to gauge the effectiveness of their programs.<\/p>\n<p>Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½\u2019s team beat nine other regional winners at the two-day competition in San Antonio, including the Air Force Academy, the University of California, Berkeley, and Western Washington University.

Students attempted to keep their businesses running while fending off cyber attacks from a team of 20 professional hackers. \u00a0The student teams had to keep the business operations functioning while defending against multiple attacks.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/student-club-creating-cyber-security-guardians\/\">club <\/a>was founded in 2012\u00a0 with the goal of fostering an information security-aware generation in Central Florida. The club hosts weekly meetings to educate the public. A small group within the club focuses on competition. The team won the regional contest in March to get the bid to nationals.<\/p>\n<p>Because of recent cyber attacks against Target and Neiman Marcus, where credit card and other personal information was stolen, to basic risks such as not securing a Wi-Fi connection at home, the team tries to educate the public by dropping the technical jargon and offering tips the average person can use.<\/p>\n<p>The team\u2019s skills and outreach activities are drawing the attention of local industry.
