balancing the needs of the business is a critical skill for college student bound for a cyber security career. Past sponsors of the CCDC include: Microsoft, Cisco, Accenture and AT&T.

“GameLogic’s sponsorship of the competition is a natural fit with our corporate emphasis on cyber security in a real world environment,” said John E. Taylor, Jr. president and chief executive officer of GameLogic.

“For the gaming industry in which we operate, data protection and personal privacy is of paramount concern, especially as the Internet comes into greater utilization by casinos and lotteries. We applaud the efforts of the competition staff and participants in this critical area of expertise for all industries in the information technology age.”
