Two teams with CS @ ILLINOIS members received recognition at the 11th annual New York University Polytechnic School of Engineering Cyber Security Awareness Week (CSAW). The event brought to Brooklyn hundreds of student finalists from across the United States, Canada, and beyond, from November 12 to15, to test their skills in hacking, protection, and detection. In yet other CSAW competitions, some of the world’s best young researchers presented their work; others designed government policy to protect the emerging Internet of Things—interconnected electronic devices found in more and more homes and offices.
