An eight-person Baker College Cyber Defense Club undergraduate student team recently earned the top spot at the statewide 2021 Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (CCDC), part of the National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition, created by the Center for Infrastructure Assurance and Security. The winning team will next move on to compete in the Midwest Regional CCDC on March 19-20, 2021.
Due to the ongoing challenges presented by COVID-19, this year’s competition was held remotely on Feb. 13, 2021. In order to consolidate resources, competition organizers chose to combine several state-level competitions into one event, meaning the Baker College team competed against not only three other Michigan-based schools, but also 14 other teams from schools across three other states, including Illinois, Kentucky and Wisconsin. To earn the 2021 Michigan statewide title, Baker bested competitors from Davenport University, Jackson Community College and Wayne State University.
