Detroit Mercy students recently showcased their skills in a real-world cybersecurity challenge organized by the Department of Cybersecurity & Information Systems.  With twenty-five participants forming ten teams, the event was open to all majors and provided a platform for graduate and undergraduate students to apply their knowledge in a practical setting. <\/p>\n

The challenge tested students’ theoretical knowledge and honed their problem-solving abilities in practical, real-time situations. Reflecting the complexities of the professional world, the competition provided a unique opportunity for participants to showcase their aptitude in cybersecurity. <\/p>\n

\u201cStudents worked under pressure to apply what they\u2019ve learned in our classrooms to troubleshoot and fix seven technical issues on a variety of network servers,\u201d said Anne Kohnke, associate professor of Cybersecurity and director of the Detroit Mercy Center for Cyber Security & Intelligence Studies. \u201cGiven the nature of competitions and the skills demanded of the students, cybersecurity competitions are analogous to work experience.\u201d <\/p>\n

Students competed for highest score and best documentation. The winners were: <\/p>\n

    \n
  • Highest Score 1st Place: Team 3: Adam Dobiesz and Jasmine Roeske, undergraduate cybersecurity majors, and John Weglarz, graduate student cybersecurity major
    \n  \u2022 Highest Score 2nd Place: Team 8: Noah Segal, undergraduate cyber security major 
    \n  \u2022 Highest Score 3rd Place: Team 9: Hannah Burdinie and Harrison Haviland-Longo, undergraduate cybersecurity majors and Ali Laho, undergraduate health services administration major and computer science minor 
    \n  \u2022 Winner for Best Documentation: Preston Duller, undergraduate cybersecurity major. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \u201cAs Detroit Mercy students continue to excel in the cybersecurity field, their contributions are anticipated to play a crucial role in shaping the evolving landscape of digital security,\u201d said Kohnke.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
