ICLMS students showcased their cybersecurity skills as part of the selected cyber defense team representing the Army Reserve Command (RESCOM) in the National Finals of a prestigious cybersecurity competition, held online from September 12โ€“13, 2026.

The team, coming from the 203rd Ready Reserve Cyber Defense Company (203CDC) under the 2nd Regional Community Defense Group (2RCDG), was composed of Pvt Zarmin Joshua Espinosa PA (RES), Pvt Cecilio Cesar Liwag Jr PA (RES), Pvt Jasfer Dela Cruz PA (RES), an ICLMS alumnus, Pvt Vhince Pascua PA (RES), and PFC IC Ramzil Ruiz PA (RES).

Hosted by the Philippine Army Signal Regiment, the two-day national competition brought together collegiate teams from across the country in a demanding cybersecurity environment designed to test their technical knowledge, problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and adaptability.

Through a Capture-the-King-style digital simulation, participants faced practical challenges involving cryptography, Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT), cloud security, and system pe*******on testing under strict time constraints.

Beyond the competition, their participation provided an opportunity to apply their knowledge and experience beyond the classroom while contributing to the development of future technology professionals and cyber defenders capable of responding to the evolving challenges of the digital landscape.

The ICLMS Department proudly salutes the CyberFoxtrot team for representing Saint Maryโ€™s University, 203CDC, 2RCDG, and the Army Reserve Command on the national cybersecurity stage.

Over the course of the three-day competition proper, they took on a series of cybersecurity tasks that challenged their technical skills, analytical thinking, and ability to respond to real-world security scenarios.

Each day focused on a different area of cybersecurity: Day 1 โ€“ Vulnerability Assessment, which focused on identifying weaknesses in virtual machines; Day 2 โ€“ Blue Teaming, which involved securing networks and systems through Group Policies, proper configurations, and SSH hardening; and Day 3 โ€“ Mini Capture the Flag (CTF), which tested their skills in Digital Network Forensics, network traffic analysis, and uncovering hidden credentials and flags from a provided website.

From the classroom to the national stage, may this experience inspire more Marian IT students to push beyond limits, build their skills, and pursue greater opportunities in the ever-evolving world of technology. ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ’ป

Held on August 28, 2026, the event brought together students from BSIT, BSCS, BSECE, and BSCpE for a meaningful day of learning about how capstone and thesis projects can move beyond the classroom and closer to real-world application.

With the guidance of our guest speaker, Mr. Jo Arman Ken N. Quiambao, participants explored the different Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) and learned how to assess and develop their projects with real-world impact in mind. ๐Ÿ’ก

The learning didn't stop with the discussion! Participants also worked through interactive workbook activities, applying what they learned to their own projects. They then had the opportunity to present and share their outputs, putting their ideas into practice and learning from one another.

A great capstone project doesn't have to end with a final presentationโ€”it can be the beginning of something bigger. May the insights and experiences from this seminar-workshop inspire our students to build, innovate, and turn their ideas into solutions ready for the real world.

From the bench to the market, letโ€™s continue turning innovation into impact! ๐Ÿ’ปโœจ
