UDM Student Teams participate in the 2024 NCAE Cyber Games Midwest Competition

Organized yearly by Detroit Mercy’s Cybersecurity & Information Systems Department, the NCAE Cyber Games Midwest Competition returns!

This year a record number of 14 students participated in the competition, forming two “Blue Teams” who took the role of Cybersecurity Defenders to defend a set of compromised systems, services, and implement proper security for the compromised network. As the teams worked tirelessly for 7-hours to defend these systems, a “Red Team” of Cybersecurity Saboteurs worked equally as hard to destroy the protections placed upon the systems.
