Two Lawrence Tech information technology students tied for third place in a cybersecurity contest in Detroit.<br \/>\nIn just two days, working alone and individually against 35 teams and 45 other students from five other Michigan universities, master\u2019s degree candidates Uzma Sayyad and Nicholas Okoro\u00a0 had 48 hours to solve a\u00a0 problem and prepare presentations on their solutions.<br \/>\nThe cybersecurity problem was in a case study right out of today\u2019s headlines: a data breach which occurred on a CEO website, including a photo with metadata embedded in it.<br \/>\nSayyad and Okoro had to systematically untangle the issue through a series of steps including reconnaissance, analysis, correlation, and validation. They also had to offer strategies for repairing and preventing future breaches. \u00a0 Each earned $1,500 and a certificate during the 12th Annual Scholarship Competition and presented at the Mike Illitch School of Business at Wayne State University.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe experience was intense but very rewarding.\u00a0 It pushed me to think critically, manage time effectively, and stay focused under pressure, which made the achievement even more meaningful,\u201d said Sayyad, of Waterford Township.<br \/>\n\u201cI felt a strong sense of validation that my approach and way of thinking were effective, even in a highly competitive environment,\u201d said Okoro, of Royal Oak. \u201cIt reinforced my confidence in my ability to work through complex problems and communicate solutions effectively.\u00a0 It also strengthened my interest in continuing to build in the cybersecurity and technology space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LTU students take third place at cybersecurity competition \u2013 The Oakland Press https:\/\/www.theoaklandpress.com\/2026\/05\/07\/ltu-students-take-third-place-at-cybersecurity-competition\/ Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":210285,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.theoaklandpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/uzmanicholas323-rotated.jpeg?w=1024&h=1365","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[30,24],"class_list":["post-210283","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-breach","tag-cybersecurity"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210283"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=210283"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210283\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":210286,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210283\/revisions\/210286"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/210285"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=210283"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=210283"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=210283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
