UCF C3 Team closes Spring semester with 2nd Place finish in the Spring ICL Collegiate Cup

May 5, 2023

The UCF Collegiate Cybersecurity Competition Team finished the Spring semester on May 5th with a 2nd Place finish in the Spring International Cyber League Collegiate Cup. The competition, presented by Cyberbit, places student teams in real world cyber challenges that test and validate defensive skills such as investigation and response, teamwork, communication, critical thinking, and use of commercial security tools. It is a gamified, engaging, and exciting experience that raises awareness of the field of cybersecurity and supports the vital effort to expand the size and strength of the cyber workforce. Unlike traditional Capture-the-Flag competitions, which do not test skills in real-world scenarios, the ICL offers an advanced format that allows participants to experience a range of challenges including live-fire challenges in a hyper-realistic cyber range that simulates a real life, end-to-end attack. Members of the team include (L-to-R) Matthew McKeever (CS-JR), Caleb Wisley (IT-JR), Caleb Sjostedt (IT-JR), and Harrison Keating (CS-JR). Congratulations to the team members and coach, Dr. Tom Nedorost for another outstanding performance.
