                    in the house of representatives

                        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.
