1st Pacific Rim Regional Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition

Napera was proud to be a sponsor of the 1st Pacific Rim Regional Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition held this weekend at the Microsoft campus. For ChrisB and I, it was a rare opportunity to see students in action in a highly technical scenario, and we were both impressed by the levels of skill on display as they defended their network from the Red Team. Special props go to the team from the University of Washington Computer Science & Engineering for taking the top score.

I’m sure everyone who participated is already on their way to a promising career in information security. As I mentioned to several people at the event, Napera has intern and full time positions open and we welcome inquiries at careers@napera.com.

All eyes were on screens as the competition started Saturday morning.

    Thank you for sponsoring this event. As captain of the Whatcom Community College team, I found it to be a very educational experience. We all had a great time!
