By participating in cybersecurity competitions, like the National Cyber League (NCL) Games, students can prepare and validate their skills with practical challenges they will likely face in real-world cybersecurity roles. Players can also receive individualized, comprehensive feedback from the games that highlight their personal strengths within industry-relevant challenges. This feedback is a great resource for those entering the industry and is part of what helps competition participants stand out when seeking IT and cybersecurity jobs.
Cybersecurity competitions, like the NCL Games, are designed to assess, prepare and validate students of all skill levels.
“NCL will absolutely help to take you from N00bSec to Cyber-Champion by advancing your knowledge from curriculum to career in a way that makes learning feel like playing,” said Chief Player Ambassador Kaitlyn “CryptoKait” Bestenheider. “It’s an opportunity to find your path into the cybersecurity workforce.”
In the NCL Games, challenges are easily identifiable and sorted by nine categories:
Open source intelligence
Log analysis
Network traffic analysis
Cryptography
Scanning
Forensics
Password cracking
Enumeration and exploitation
Web application security
There are challenges in each category at three difficulty levels (easy, medium and hard) so players with different levels of cybersecurity expertise can measure their progress through each competency area.
