Nineteen teams, six hours, one goal: protect American farmers from malicious hackers trying to disrupt the nation’s food chain.  
 
This wasn’t the plot of the next big reality TV show—it was the first-ever Cyber and AI Capture the Flag competition. 该活动由专注于网络安全游戏的电子竞技公司PlayCyber和 1890年基金会（1890 Foundation）是一个非营利组织，致力于支持根据《第二莫里尔法案》（Second Morrill Act）建立的19所获赠土地的hbcu； 以及美国农业部。
 
Over the course of the day, the teams of six students and one coach competed in a variety of challenges, which ranged from “jail breaking” an AI that had been custom-designed for the event, to lockpicking and social engineering. 甚至还有一个密室。 Completing a long list of assigned challenges — or finding and finishing bonus tasks — earned the teams points, forcing players to strategically invest their time and resources. 
 
尘埃落定，键盘安静下来后，一支队伍站在了其他队伍的前面。 但所有与会者都获得了对网络安全挑战的宝贵见解和经验。 有些人甚至找到了未来的职业。

结果

• 1st — Alabama A&M University
