Leadership from the 24th Air Force met with CyberPatriot semi-finalist teams in the San Antonio area Jan. 15-16.
Of the 1,500 teams competing in the national CyberPatriot competition, only 50 made it to the semi-finals. Of those 50, nine teams are from the San Antonio area.
“It was impressive to see the enthusiasm of the CyberPatriot team and how excited they were to have reached the semi-finals of this competition, out of 1500 teams” said Lt. Col. Jim Burleigh, Cyber Mission Forces Planner for 24th AF, following his meeting with the semi-finalist team from Southwest High School. “I think they were surprised as I explained to the team how their work directly relates to some of the Air Force cyber mission sets–protecting our information against those trying to compromise it.”
