More than 450 college students from across the nation were selected to participate in the sixth annual competition, but only 201 students from 36 states earned points in the cybersecurity exercise intended to mimic the energy sector.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s scenario required competitors to secure and report on a fictitious wind energy company in charge of more than 20,000 megawatts of electricity generation that had been experiencing abnormal network activity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach individual competitor needed to possess the knowledge and skills and perform all the work typically spread among a six-member team,\u201d says Associate Lecturer of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/degree\/computer-science-bs\/\">Computer Science<\/a> Tom Nedorost, faculty advisor for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hackucf.org\/\">麻豆原创\u2019s Collegiate Cyber Defense Club<\/a> known as Hack@麻豆原创. \u201cMichael demonstrated both exceptional breadth and depth of skills and knowledge required to configure, secure and defend multiple Linux and Windows servers, networks, firewalls and [industrial control systems] operating turbines of commercial windmills.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/degree\/digital-forensics-ms\/\">digital forensics<\/a> graduate student, Roberts earned a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/degree\/information-technology-bs\/\">bachelor\u2019s in information technology<\/a> from 麻豆原创 in 2019 and is a member of the Hack@麻豆原创 team that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/ucf-takes-2nd-nationally-in-department-of-energys-cyberforce-competition\/\">placed second at last year\u2019s CyberForce competition<\/a> and first in the 2018 competition. He has also been captain of the teams that placed second in 2018, 2019 and 2020 at the National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition as well as the teams that placed first at the Panoply National Competition in 2017 and 2018 and the Leidos Cyber Challenge in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m just excited to see my hard work pay off and to be recognized by the Department of Energy for getting second place,\u201d says Roberts. \u201cI am glad that there are competitions like this that improve the visibility of the work we do. These competitions are training undergraduate students, so they gain new skills, as well as people like me who are already in the industry, so we can gain additional skills that can be applied on the job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to having an active role in Hack@麻豆原创, Roberts has completed internships at Northrop Grumman, IBM and Chick-fil-A, and currently works as an information security engineer at Abbott Laboratories in Orlando.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI am glad that there are competitions like this that improve the visibility of the work we do.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2014 Michael Roberts \u201919<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cCybersecurity really has two sides,\u201d Roberts says. \u201cThere\u2019s the offensive side where you\u2019re trying to break into a company to test whether they\u2019re secure or not, and then you let them know how they can be improved; and then there\u2019s the defensive side where you secure the company from attacks. I interned at different places to get a variety of experience and to discover what I liked best. For the past year or so, I\u2019ve been working in the healthcare field, and it feels nice to be making some very important healthcare products more secure, especially given this pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the Center for Cyber Safety and Education, unfilled cybersecurity careers are expected to reach more than 1.8 million by 2022 \u2014 a 20% increase in demand since 2015.<\/p>\n<p>The DOE established the CyberForce competition to address this growing need, by raising awareness of energy sector cybersecurity as a career path among budding professionals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe American cybersecurity workforce is facing a gap in talent, and this competition is an exciting, engaging part of helping to fill that gap,\u201d says Nick Andersen, principal deputy assistant secretary of the DOE\u2019s Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response. \u201cEvery year, we see incredibly promising students competing in the CyberForce Competition, and this year was no exception.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Graduate student Michael Roberts \u201919 beat more than 450 students from across the nation in the U.S. Department of Energy\u2019s 2020 CyberForce Competition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":40,"featured_media":115843,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"lazy_load_responsive_images_disabled":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":"","_wp_rev_ctl_limit":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[18104,18215,973,13559,1045,11806,36030,2294,15761,18081,3882,11768],"tu_author":[],"class_list":["post-115837","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-science-technology","tag-academic-excellence","tag-aerospace-and-defense","tag-college-of-engineering-and-computer-science","tag-collegiate-cyberdefense-teams","tag-computer-science","tag-cybersecurity","tag-digital-forensics","tag-information-technology","tag-pegasus-briefs","tag-president","tag-rankings","tag-tom-nedorost"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>麻豆原创 Student Places 2nd at National Cybersecurity Competition | 麻豆原创 News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Graduate student Michael Roberts \u201919 beat more than 450 students from across the nation in the U.S. Department of Energy\u2019s 2020 CyberForce Competition.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/ucf-student-places-2nd-at-national-cybersecurity-competition\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"麻豆原创 Student Places 2nd at National Cybersecurity Competition\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Graduate student Michael Roberts \u201919 beat more than 450 students from across the nation in the U.S. Department of Energy\u2019s 2020 CyberForce Competition.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/ucf-student-places-2nd-at-national-cybersecurity-competition\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"麻豆原创 News | 麻豆原创 Today\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/麻豆原创\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-11-30T15:28:03+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-06-17T18:40:45+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2020\/11\/ucf-michael-roberts-cyberforce.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"800\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Laura J.
