Department of Energy CyberForce Competition
A team of students from Texas A&M University placed 10th in the nation out of 108 teams at the Nov. 16 Department of Energy (DOE) CyberForce Competition™, which is a cyber workforce development competition that focuses on the defensive/hardening nature of energy cyber infrastructure.
The DOE partnered with current national laboratory staff that has successfully hosted four successful cyber defense competitions to exercise interactive, scenario-based events to create this competition. The national labs that hosted were Argonne National Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Idaho National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, National Energy Technology Laboratory, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratory, which is the location at which the Texas A&M team participated.
