US Cyber Challenge
US Cyber Challenge is a private program which recruits, trains, and places candidates in cybersecurity jobs in the United States. US Cyber Challenge was formerly a DHS S&T-funded not-for-profit organization, and is currently a program of the Center for Internet Security.
History[edit]
The founding director of US Cyber Challenge was Karen S. Evans.[1][2]
Methodology[edit]
The US Cyber Challenge uses an online competition each April to select qualified candidates for a one-week cybersecurity training program the following summer. The summer program includes workshops, a job fair, and a capture the flag competition. Topics covered in the workshops include intrusion detection, penetration testing and forensics. Participation is limited to high school and college students who are US citizens.[3][4]
