Congratulations #TeamUSA for winning 2nd place in the #KunoichiCyberGames in Japan this weekend! The Beacom College of Computer and Cyber Sciences (BCCCS) at Dakota State University (DSU) is especially proud of Gillian Morris and Gwendolyn Vongkasemsiri for representing women in STEM. These two brilliant competitors were selected to be on the first US Women’s Cyber Team. From their website: https://lnkd.in/gu5GPCcq Gender disparity in cybersecurity is a global issue that we, collectively, are turning into an opportunity. Working with teams from Japan, the UK, and Europe, we hosted a unique women’s cyber games exhibition, Kunoichi Cyber Games, at the 2024 Code Blue Conference, on November 14–15 in Tokyo, Japan. The US Women's Cyber Team began virtual practice in August under the direction of a Head Coach and Assistant Head Coach. The program is an extension of the US Cyber Games and we are actively seeking opportunities to cross-train and scrimmage with other global women's teams. The US Cyber Games program aligns with the National Cybersecurity strategy focusing on workforce and international cooperation, as well as the NICE Strategic Plan objective to increase understanding of multiple learning pathways that lead to cybersecurity careers. The US Cyber Games program is supported by NICE, a program of the National Institute of Standards and Technology in the US Department of Commerce. Members are: Lauren Delwiche (Yale University), Lily Gross (University of North Carolina at Charlotte), Eliza Hall (University of North Georgia), Carolina Hatanpaa (Rice University), Gillian Morris (Dakota State University), Sarah Ogden (Northern Kentucky University), Alexandria Petitt (California State University, Bakersfield), Renée Schmidt (Marymount University), Shiloh Smiles (George Mason University), Elan Smolar Eisenberg (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute), and Gwen Vongkasemsiri (Dakota State University).
