📍 USF Oval Theater

This yearlong story follows USF’s cybersecurity competition team—the CyberHerd—from upstart challengers to national prominence. Tampa has always loved an underdog and a champion (ChampaBay, anyone?), and the CyberHerd embodies both.

More than a competition story, The Making of a Defender shows how solving the nation’s cybersecurity challenges is becoming a pillar of the Tampa Bay community and beyond. As CyberBay grows, this story becomes one of its cornerstones.
