Baker College Takes First Place in the 2008 National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (NCCDC)

Congratulations to Baker College (Flint, Michigan) on winning the third annual National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition! After competing for the last three years, the Baker College team finally made it past the regional level to beat the 2007 winners from Texas A&M University.

The competition is a three day event hosted by the University of Texas at San Antonio's Center for Infrastructure Assurance and Security, a cybersecurity research and education center. Students have the opportunity to test their knowledge of network infrastructure management and protection in an operational environment. The competition also provides students with a chance to interact and discuss the security and operational challenges they will face upon entering the job market.
