Congratulations to Hack@UCF and advisor Dr. Tom Nedorost for capturing 1st Place in the 15th annual Information Security Talent Search Competition at Rochester Institute of Technology this past weekend. The Information Security Talent Search (ISTS) competition is an annual 3-day cyber attack/defend competition hosted at RIT by SPARSA. Each year, college teams from across the nation compete for the coveted title of ISTS Champion. Competitors are faced with a wide variety of challenges designed to cover as many facets of computing security, system administration, networking and programming as possible. These challenges include code review, architecture design, incident response, and policy writing all while defending a completely student-built infrastructure. This was UCF’s first appearance in this competition. Information about ISTS can be found at https://ists.sparsa.org/
