Thirteen Teams from Monroe Advanced Technical Academy Advanced to Open Division Semi-Finals of CyberPatriot National Cyber Defense Competition Ninety-six high school students from the Academies of Loudoun (ACL) participated in the State round of the Air Force Association’s CyberPatriot Cyber Defense Competition in early February, which includes teams finding cybersecurity vulnerabilities in simulated environments. This year, over 3,300 teams competed, with ACL's 20 teams achieving notable success, including 13 advancing to the Semifinals, the highest number in ACL history. ACL's teams were categorized in Platinum, Gold, and Silver Tiers, with six in the Platinum Tier. Team “Pizza Packets” won 1st in Virginia and 2nd nationally, while “Decepticons” placed 3rd in Virginia. The “Wiresharks” also excelled in the Silver Tier. Coaches Jeremy Staples and Jesse Field expressed gratitude to sponsors Ocean Solutions, Speak Bilingual, and Watermark Woods for their support, which covers costs for the teams. Additionally, Ocean Solutions has committed to ongoing support and provided motivational talks for students, alongside work-based learning opportunities in cybersecurity and Cisco pathways.
