team-based cyber security contest for 12-18 year olds. Sponsored by

science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects
and encourage careers in cyber security.

scenarios and challenges that today's professionals grapple with on
a daily basis," said Andrew Tyler, chief executive Europe, Northrop
Grumman. "We offer our congratulations to all the finalists, and
