We have more accolades for the members of the student organization DayZero! They traveled to Chicago this past weekend to compete in the Department of Energy's (DOE) CyberForce Competition®. Out of more than a hundred teams from universities all across the county, our students scored in the top third. WTG!

The DOE's CyberForce Competition is in response to the escalating demand for adept cybersecurity professionals in the United States. The U.S. Department of Energy is intensifying its efforts to foster a well-equipped energy cybersecurity workforce through a hands-on operational technology cybersecurity competition with real-world challenges. Teams of college and university students were invited to participate in the ninth edition of its CyberForce Competition®, sponsored by DOE's Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response (CESER) and led by DOE's Argonne National Laboratory.
