Page 51 - WilmU Spring Summer 2013

In the beginning of 2013, the quarterly
meeting of InfraGard was held on campus.
InfraGard is a national partnership between
the FBI, the cyber security and infrastructure
protection industry and academia. Area
business leaders shared their perspectives on
storm preparation and lessons learned during
last year’s Hurricane Sandy, which ravaged
the New Jersey and New York coastlines. Ed
Guthrie, dean of the College of Technology,
is president of the Delaware chapter of
InfraGard.
This summer, it’s the University’s turn to host
the U.S. Cyber Challenge Cyber Camp, which
will accommodate 60 participants and be held
on the New Castle campus for a week in July.
The camp will feature one week of specialized
cyber security training that includes work-
shops, a job fair and a culminating “Capture
the Flag” competition.
This is the fourth year of the U.S. Cyber
Challenge, Hufe says. The University hosted
the original camp at the Dover campus in 2010.
College and high school students are
eligible for the camp. Those interested
can qualify by participating in Cyber
Quests, a free online cyber challenge, at
h p://uscc.cyberquests.org.
The University is a sponsor of the 2013
Colloquium for Information Systems Security
Education, held in June in Mobile Bay, Ala. This
three-day conference works toward the goal
of defining current and emerging requirements
for information assurance education and
influencing and encouraging the development
and expansion of information assurance
curricula. It’s a good avenue for professional
development to helpWilmington University
improve and maintain its information security
programs.
Cyber security at Wilmington University
also serves as a source of pride for Hufe. In
2009, the University participated in a digital
forensics competition from the Department
of Defense Cyber Crime Center (DC3). Out
of 1,153 teams in 56 countries, theWilmington
University team took first place in the
undergraduate category. Their scores were
