CyberPatriot Competition Winners Announced

Students from the Chantilly (Va.) Academy won the CyberPatriot V competition, focusing on cybersecurity, at the Gaylord Convention Center in National Harbor, MD last week.  Four teams from LA Unified School District were also among the twelve finalists.  Approximately 1,200 teams entered the competition in three preliminary rounds, sponsored by the Air Force Association and Northrop Grumman, in which students use "hacking" techniques to detect and mitigate cyber-attacks by mock data thieves and cyber-spies.  http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2013/03/18/cyberpatriot-high-school-cyber-defenders-contest/1995303/
