DSU faculty members win Wild West Hackin’ Fest competition

Four DSU faculty in The Beacom College of Computer & Cyber Sciences won the Capture the Flag competition at the recent Wild West Hackin’ Fest in Deadwood. The competition was run by MetaCTF, a cyber skills platform that helps companies with cyber talent considerations.

 

Andrew Kramer, Tyler Flaagan, Cody Welu, and Shawn Zwach attend the annual conference for professional development, but say they also enjoy taking part in the competitions.

 

A Dakota State faculty group won in 2019, and a team of DSU students won in 2020.

 

The faculty members also helped provide information at a promotional booth at the conference, and talked with many who were interested in Dakota State degree programs.
