The Southern Illinois University Carbondale Security Dawgs clinched the top spot at the Illinois State Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition on Feb. 17, placing first among eight schools vying for the top position. The team, a registered student organization, bested teams including those from the Illinois Institute of Technology, Lewis University, Governors State University, DePaul University, Loyola University Chicago and others to secure the top prize. The achievement highlights the strength of SIU’s new cybersecurity technology program that will start in fall 2024, and also sets a high standard for future competitions, said Chun-Hsi "Vincent" Huang, director of the School of Computing.
