This week a 19 year old Cambridge student, William Shackleton, took the much coveted title of UK Cyber Security Champion.
.
The 12 month contest tasked the 41 finalists with protecting the UK critical infrastructure from cyber attack.
.
Jointly devised by experts from BT, GCHQ, Lockheed Martin, Juniper Networks and the National Crime Agency, the final event was held this week at the Churchill Cabinet War Rooms.
.
Finalists were selected over the course of a year in which they had to undertake face-to-face cyber battles.
.
In the final task teams worked together to investigate and stop a simulated attack which first struck on the financial district, then the transport network, utilities and finally a nuclear reactor.
