NICE Challenge Cybersecurity Competition students achieve highest score, highest number of resolved systems and third place

Three Cybersecurity & Information Systems majors spent four hours on Wednesday, April 12, competing to win and helped pilot the newly developed NICE Challenge Cybersecurity Competition. This real-world technical challenge involved sifting through company emails to find clues in order to quickly fix several compromised systems and user IDs that were hacked. Achieving the highest score was Adam Dobiesz, with Harrison Haviland-Longo achieving the highest number of resolved systems. Coming in at 3rd place was Matthew Davidson. The competition was organized by Detroit Mercy’s Director of the Center of Cyber Security & Intelligence Studies and Associate Professor of Cybersecurity Anne Kohnke.
