The Indiana Tech Cyber Defense Team won the Midwest Regional Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition on March 25 and 26 and earned a trip to the national competition April 8 to 10 in San Antonio, Texas.
The team of eight students took first place over teams from DePaul University, Southern Illinois University, Baldwin-Wallace College, Davenport University, St. Cloud State University, Alexandria Technical and Community College, and Waukesha County Technical College.
Earlier they won the State Contest.
Indiana Tech's Cyber Defense Team includes captain Lindsey Dohse (Cassopolis, Mich.), Jeremy Lemmel (Lanesville), David Isaacs (Lanesville), Matt Hart (LaPorte), Geoffrey Ross (Fort Wayne, Ind.), Daniel Freer (St. Marys, Ohio), Kelie Bailey (South Whitley), and Jacob Hapner (Fort Wayne).
Bailey is a Whitko High School graduate and a sophomore at Indiana Tech.
The competition is designed to test each team's ability to secure a networked computer system while maintaining standard business functionality. Team members simulate a group of employees from an IT service company that will initiate administration of an IT infrastructure. The teams are expected to manage the computer network, keep it operational, and prevent unauthorized access. Teams are scored on the basis of their ability to detect and respond to outside threats, including cyber attack while maintaining availability of existing network services such as mail servers and web servers, respond to business requests such as the addition or removal of additional services, and balance security against varying business needs.
The 8 teams competing in San Antonio. TX are:
University of Washington - Pacific Rim Regional
Cal Poly Pomona - West Coast Regional
University of Wyoming - North Central Regional
Texas A&M University - Southwest Regional
United States Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs - At-Large Regional
