Advance IT Minnesota and Minnesota Innovation Lab are happy to bring these teams together this year with assistance from the Center for Systems Security and Information Assurance (CSSIA) and hosting support of Alexandria Technical and Community College and Minneapolis Community and Technical College.

The top three Minnesota teams will be recognized at the Secure360 conference on May 18, 2016.
