On January 5, 2012, Senator Chris Coons spoke at the U.S. Cyber Challenge, Cyber Foundations Awards Ceremony. This event honored all the Delaware participants in the fall competition, as well as two students from Delaware who placed first and fourteenth in the nation. Cyber Foundations is a nationwide online competition focusing on the most important foundational fields of cyber security: networking, operating systems, and system administration. Cyber Foundations is a feeder program into other US Cyber Challenge events, including the collegiate level camps, which were hosted in Delaware in 2010 and 2011.
