  • 2019 Cyber Defense Competition at Highline College
    MEDIA RELEASE FOR RELEASE: Immediately DATE: March 13, 2019 CONTACT: Dr. Amelia Phillips: (206) 592-3497, [email protected] Kari Coglon Cantey: (206) 291-8622, [email protected] College Students on Front Line of Cyberattacks Green River College, University of Washington Teams Qualify for Cyber Defense Competition at Highline College DES MOINES, Wash. — College students studying cybersecurity from around the Pacific Northwest will participate in real-world scenarios during an upcoming competition at Highline College. Teams from 13 institutions will compete in the annual Pacific Rim Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition, March 22–24, 2019. The event gives students practice thwarting hackers while maintaining a corporate network that cannot be replicated in a typical classroom. Competitive training better prepares students for the workforce, says Dr. Amelia Phillips, the regional director of the event and faculty member at Highline. “With data breaches, identity theft and other cyberattacks becoming a daily occurrence, we need to train more and more people to be successful in this field,” she says. More and more, indeed. According to Cybersecurity Ventures, there will be an estimated 3.5 million cybersecurity positions unfilled by 2021. Last month, 17 colleges and universities competed in a qualifier for 12 open slots. Two teams tied, so 13 will participate in the 12th annual competition: — Brigham Young University-Idaho (Rexburg, Idaho) — Clover Park Technical College (Lakewood) — Columbia Basin College (Pasco) — The Evergreen State College (Olympia) — George Fox University (Newberg, Oregon) — Green River College (Auburn) — Oregon State University (Corvallis, Oregon) — Saint Martin’s University (Lacey) — University of Idaho (Moscow, Idaho) — University of Washington (Bothell) — University of Washington (Seattle) — Western Washington University (Bellingham) — Whatcom Community College (Bellingham) Highline College students participate in the event as well, not as competitors, but as designers, builders and judges.
