CyberPatriot Heats Up

摘要

The Air Force Association's Cy-berPatriot-The National High School Cyber Defense Competition-attracted a record number of teams-more than 1,200-for its fifth season. Participants hailed from all 50 states and the Canadian province of Manitoba, plus Department of Defense schools in Europe and the Pacific. The contestants began last October with practice rounds. Then they battled through three official online rounds to determine who was best at protecting simulated computer networks from a variety of intruder attacks. The top 28 scoring squads earned a trip to the National Finals Competition, held in March just outside Washington, D.C.
