                         Thursday, May 22, 2014

  Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to 
congratulate the University of Central Florida for winning the 2014 
Raytheon National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (NCCDC). The 
competition, held April 25-27 in San Antonio, Texas, brought together 
the top ten college and university teams from across the country.
   More than 180 colleges and universities and 2,000 undergraduate and 
graduate students participated in competitions leading up to the 
national championship. The Raytheon competition models real-world 
scenarios in which teams are required to maintain operational needs of 
their businesses and user demands amidst cyber attacks. Preparing the 
next generation of cyber security leaders is critical to defending our 
nation against ever-increasing threats.
   Again, congratulations to the University of Central Florida team for 
bringing home the Raytheon NCCDC Alamo Cup and establishing the 
University as a national leader in cyber security.
