Let your athleticism shine in National Cyber League Spring Season
CHEVY CHASE, Md. (PRWEB) March 22, 2018 -- Being cybersecurity virtually competitive is just as athletic as a basketball or soccer player just using different muscles. All cyber athletes are welcome to compete in the National Cyber League (NCL) Spring Season. Registration is ongoing.
Participants are able to flex their mental muscles by refining their skills and working on challenges in the NCL’s 24/7 virtual Gymnasium. While practicing in the NCL Gym, players can access a solutions guide that includes step-by-step instructions to help them understand the more difficult challenges. The Preseason game then ranks participants’ knowledge and skills to put them in brackets for the Regular Season game. Following Regular Season, everyone receives a Scouting Report and certificate of participation with prizes awarded to top finishers.
The NCL game simulates real-life work routines and situations. Some scenarios include correlating multiple sets of logs to identify insider threats within a business or breaking a custom encryption algorithm to decipher communication between hackers. Each challenge makes these competitors stronger.
Through these exercises, NCL players develop and validate their cybersecurity knowledge and talent across a range of industry recognized competencies, making them more marketable. Companies looking for qualified employees then use the Scouting Reports in their hiring process.
High school and college students are eligible to participate. Gym training is March 30 through May 25, Preseason Game is April 4 to 10 and the Regular Season Game is from April 13 to 15. Registration runs through March 25 for $25. For more information or to register, visit http://www.nationalcyberleague.org or email [email protected].
