Each year&#8217;s case varies, with this year&#8217;s involving an incident investigation of a compromised server using Nmap, Gobuster, and ExifTool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, University of Detroit Mercy students brought home $9,000 in prizes, competing against 25 teams from five Michigan universities. First place and the $4,000 scholarship went to Titan Consulting, comprised of Noel Renu and Adam Jamaleddin. In a tie for second place, each team received a $2,500 scholarship: Longo Consulting &amp; Solutions, represented by Harrison Haviland-Longo competing solo, and Torchwood Consulting, comprised of Ali Laho and Jarod Cunningham. Additionally, the team of Samwell Mchunga, Eyitooni Oladipo, Angel Plamoottii, and Shifa Khanom received an honorable mention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t<div class='ngg-imagebrowser default-view'\n\t\tid='ngg-imagebrowser-b419b6bf4ce574071454e88af6e6f970-553'\n\t\tdata-nextgen-gallery-id=\"b419b6bf4ce574071454e88af6e6f970\">\n\n\t\t<h3>First Place - Titan Consulting<\/h3>\n\n\t\t<div id=\"ngg-image-0\" class=\"pic\" \n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sites.udmercy.edu\/cyberclub\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/533\/nggallery\/isaca-2026\/IMG_2002.jpg'\n\t\t\ttitle='First Place: Noel Renu and Adam Jamaleddin, &quot;Titan Consulting&quot;'\n\t\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/sites.udmercy.edu\/cyberclub\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/533\/nggallery\/isaca-2026\/IMG_2002.jpg\"\n\t\t\tdata-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/sites.udmercy.edu\/cyberclub\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/533\/nggallery\/isaca-2026\/thumbs\/thumbs-IMG_2002.jpg\"\n\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"148\"\n\t\t\tdata-title=\"First Place - Titan Consulting\"\n\t\t\tdata-description=\"First Place: Noel Renu and Adam Jamaleddin, &quot;Titan Consulting&quot;\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"ngg-simplelightbox\" rel=\"b419b6bf4ce574071454e88af6e6f970\">\n\t\t\t<img title='First Place - Titan Consulting'\n\t\t\t\talt='First Place - Titan Consulting'\n\t\t\t\tsrc='https:\/\/sites.udmercy.edu\/cyberclub\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/533\/nggallery\/isaca-2026\/IMG_2002.jpg'\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class='ngg-imagebrowser-nav'>\n\n\t\t\t<div class='back'>\n\t\t\t\t<a class='ngg-browser-prev'\n\t\t\t\t\tid='ngg-prev-145'\n\t\t\t\t\thref='https:\/\/sites.udmercy.edu\/cyberclub\/2026\/03\/15\/udm-students-win-9000-in-prizes-at-the-12th-annual-isaca-detroit-cybersecurity-scholarship\/nggallery\/image\/20260315_155431-1\/'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fa fa-chevron-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class='next'>\n\t\t\t\t<a class='ngg-browser-next'\n\t\t\t\t\tid='ngg-next-144'\n\t\t\t\t\thref='https:\/\/sites.udmercy.edu\/cyberclub\/2026\/03\/15\/udm-students-win-9000-in-prizes-at-the-12th-annual-isaca-detroit-cybersecurity-scholarship\/nggallery\/image\/20260315_120926-2\/'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fa fa-chevron-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class='counter'>\n\t\t\t\tImage\t\t\t\t1\t\t\t\tof\t\t\t\t5\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class='ngg-imagebrowser-desc'>\n\t\t\t\t<p>First Place: Noel Renu and Adam Jamaleddin, \"Titan Consulting\"<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p>This competition remains an excellent opportunity for UDM students to test their technical skills and professional presentation skills simultaneously.
