<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div><strong>SAIC, The State Of Maryland, And UMBC Announce 2013 Maryland Cyber Challenge</strong></div>
    <div><em>Cyber Competition Drives Education and Careers in Cybersecurity</em></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) (SAI),  Maryland's Department of Business and Economic Development (DBED), and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) announced the third annual 2013 statewide cyber competition, the Maryland Cyber Challenge™, will be held October 8 through October 9 at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore, Maryland. <a href="https://www.fbcinc.com/e/cybermdcompetition/attendeereg.aspx" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"> Registration is now open</a> for aspiring cyber warriors from around the nation to compete at the Maryland event, located in the growing epicenter for the cybersecurity industry.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The Maryland Cyber Challenge™ is designed to attract more students and young professionals to pursue careers in cybersecurity and is held in conjunction with the <a href="http://www.fbcinc.com/e/cybermdconference/default.aspx" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">CyberMaryland2013 Conference</a> and Cyber Hall of Fame. It is the premier statewide cyber competition showcasing today's students and tomorrow's technologists with three levels of competition: high school, college and professional. Teams will have the opportunity to develop and improve their cybersecurity skills in a real-world environment. Founders of the event include SAIC, UMBC, DBED, the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA), and the Tech Council of Maryland (TCM).</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Orientation sessions for teams in each of three divisions -- high school, collegiate and industry and government professionals -- will be held at UMBC in July and August. Two qualifying rounds will be conducted online using SAIC's Cyber Network Exercise System (CyberNEXS™), a scalable training, exercise and certification system that has successfully sharpened the cybersecurity skills of more than 15,000 students and professionals globally.  CyberNEXS™ is expected to be a part of planned solutions company Leidos, Inc., following SAIC's planned separation into two independent, publicly traded companies, subject to board of directors approval, as announced Aug. 30, 2012.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The final rounds of the challenge will be held at the conference as part of Maryland's activities to recognize the 10th anniversary of National Cyber Security Awareness Month. High school teams will compete in a cyber-defense challenge, while collegiate and professional teams will go head-to-head in a "capture the flag" scenario. Winners of each division will be announced on October 9 during the CyberMaryland Conference.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The CyberMaryland Conference is a two day event designed to showcase industry innovations, create a platform for discussing cyber policy, recognize cyber pioneers and groom the next generation of IT experts.  The goal of the event is to further demonstrate why Maryland is considered the nation's epicenter for information security excellence. In 2012, the Conference attracted over 800 cyber leaders and professionals from across the country. This included federal, state and local government agency leaders, educators, private industry CTOs, CISOs, analysts and technologists, cyber security entrepreneurs and investors. Conference registration will open in the coming weeks. </div>
