                        Wednesday, May 13, 2015

  Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to congratulate the 
University of Central Florida for winning their second national title 
at the 2015 National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (NCCDC). 
Presented in partnership with Raytheon Company and organized by the 
Center for Infrastructure Assurance and Security (CIAS) at the 
University of Texas, the NCCDC held April 24-26 in San Antonio, Texas 
featured finalists from 10 regional competitions nationwide.
   The NCCDC, started in 2005 to increase interest in the cyber 
security field, was the first national cyber security competition 
designed to test how well college students operate and protect a 
corporate network infrastructure. Utilizing real world scenarios, 
students must secure and defend the network infrastructure and business 
information systems. In addition to scoring the highest in the 
competition and winning their second NCCDC Alamo Cup, the University of 
Central Florida team, on behalf of Raytheon, will be coming to 
Washington, D.C. this summer to visit some of our nation's premier 
national security sites.
   Again, congratulations to the University of Central Florida team for 
bringing home their second NCCDC national title and establishing the 
University of Central Florida as a leader in cyber security.
