The US Cyber Foundations Online High School Competition Challenge (USCC) began October 21 with 2,034 students from 169 schools, 32 states and 3 U.S. territories across the Nation for chance to become Cyber Security Superstars. The online competition, conducted in collaboration with the SANS Institute, featured a series of quizzes in the most important foundational fields of cyber security: networking, operating systems, and system administration. The top scoring students in each school and state will earned recognition and awards for their achievements. Those with an interest and aptitude may go on to pursue a career in cyber security and help fill the critical gap in the nation’s cyber workforce. Cyber Foundations has received broad endorsement from federal, state and local officials, educators and parents. The number of students participating has more than doubled since the spring Cyber Foundations competition, in which almost 1,000 students from 135 schools participated. The skills being taught through the competition are fundamental for success in the cyber security field and are in high demand. The competition offers an opportunity for students to explore cyber security as a potential career option while competing for awards and recognition. "This competition is a fun and innovative way to help meet the urgent need to develop young talent in the cyber security field, which remains woefully lacking in top professionals," said Congressman Jim Langevin, who co-founded the Congressional Cybersecurity Caucus and took the lead in launching the contest in Rhode Island. "The Center for Internet Security has created an ideal model for partnering education, business and government to improve our cyber workforce, and I encourage other industries to take note." From Sonny Sandelus**, "We would like to congratulate ALL the students who took the challenge this fall and special congratulations go out to our winners in each school, state and nation!
We would also like to thank each teacher, mentor and state coordinator who have all done a fantastic job in supporting the competition and the students in preparing for the quizzes.
Again, congratulations to all of you and we hope to see you in the spring competition".
