Slug Security is thrilled to share that UC Santa Cruz secured 9th place out of 170 teams in the 2022 CyberForce Competition. This marks the second consecutive year that UCSC has ranked in the top 10 in the Department of Energy's CyberForce Competition. We want to congratulate the 3 teams that represented us this year, "Slug Sec", "Bing Chilling", and "Cyber Slugs". All three teams were supervised by Professor Alvaro A. Cardenas and Sebastián Castro.
Continuing the tradition of participating in the National Security Agency's Codebreaker Challenge, UC Santa Cruz has placed 9th in the 2021 Codebreaker Challenge. This is the second year in a row that UCSC has placed in the top 10. Slug Security is proud of our team's accomplishments this year, especially of the new members who are new to cybersecurity.
We are pleased to share that UC Santa Cruz placed second in the Department of Energy's CyberForce 2021 competition. This was our first time participating in the event, and our team performed exceptionally well to secure a top position among 120 teams from 105 universities across 33 states.
