A team from the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span><\/a> placed third in a national cybersecurity competition behind the prestigious U.S. Military Academy in West Point and the University of Central Florida. The competition put university security teams from around the country in a live cyberattack simulation inspired real-life security issues.<\/p>\n

Symantec<\/a>, a leading U.S. cybersecurity company, hosted the\u00a0Higher Ed Cybersecurity Competition<\/a>\u00a0in October. The contest provided competitors with real-world, high-pressure situations to aide them in understanding the vulnerabilities of today’s global threat landscape.<\/p>\n

The UH<\/abbr> team consisted of UH<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span><\/a> and Honolulu Community College<\/a> students and alumni—Jayson Hayworth<\/strong>, Taylor Kina<\/strong>, Catherine Sarte<\/strong> and Christine Rioca<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A challenge for this competition was the start time—the online competition started at 2 a.m. Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> time on October 19 and completed at 11 a.m. on October 20. Because of the time difference, the UH<\/abbr> team, which convened at UH<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span>\u2019s James and Abigail Campbell Library, was limited to competing between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. on October 19.<\/p>\n

“We had a ton of fun, but this was pretty difficult. All of the challenges were creative and educational and we learned a lot,” said team captain Hayworth.<\/p>\n
