Cyber Patriot--Competition for High School Students

Competition and a potential future career in cybersecurity.

Recently I got a comment on a cybersecurity blog post from Bernie Skoch the CyberPatriot Commissioner.  

 

"...the best job I have had in a long time: Organizing and running an exciting cyber competition that draws American youth to the exciting field of cyber defense. I invite you and your readers to get involved in recruiting high school students to the National High School Cyber Defense Competition: CyberPatriot. Last year we had over 1,000 teams register from all 50 states. Teams learn how cyber systems work, and they learn how to identify and defend against the threats we are facing more and more every day. The generosity of the Northrop Grumman Foundation and our other sponsors has made it possible to reach over 100,000 youth over the past few years. Check us out: www.uscyberpatriot.org

 

 

As you coach your own children or others with whom you come in contact with about their future careers, you might add cybersecurity to the list.  It is a growing field that is going to be around for many more generations as we become more and more technologically dependent on systems that "work."

 

Check out the web link above and encourage schools and students to become involved in cybersecurity.
