Origins
Cyber@UCR was founded in 2016 when a group of hackers when @squelch came to UCR and saw a gap in the security education, but there was no shortage of hackers. He brought a group together to compete in Western Regionals Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition. This team placed 3rd in Defense and earned Cyber@UCR a place in the college of engineering! Cyber has grown in size and skill every year.
