The Knights of the University of Central Florida proved victorious in DOE’s CyberForce Competition™, valiantly defending and securing a hydropower energy system against a malicious virtual cyberattack.

Argonne will host DOE’s CyberForce® Competition, which inspires and develops budding energy sector cybersecurity experts. This year, college students will compete to harden and secure a hydropower plant’s systems from cyberattack.

Argonne announces the winner of the last U.S. Department of Energy CyberForce contest before the main annual event in November.

The Department of Energy expands its CyberForce® program and offers more ways for students to test their cybersecurity skills.

In a first-time virtual contest, Argonne researchers will challenge hundreds of college students to defend simulated energy-sector infrastructure against cyberattacks.

Three researchers in Argonne’s Mathematics and Computer Science Division – Matt Menickelly, Anirudh Subramanyam, and Ashwin Renganathan – have received Laboratory Directed Research & Development (LDRD) Program seed funding awards for 2020.

To combat the cyber threat in sports, Argonne scientists built an assessment tool for team and stadium owners to fix vulnerabilities.
