Virginia (and six other states) has partnered with the SANS Institute (The nation’s
premier cyber training organization) to offer a FREE Cyber Challenge
(CyberStart) to students age 16 and older.
This is the first time that
CyberStart has been deployed in the U.S. and will likely be the ONLY time SANS
will make it available at no cost to participants.
The Cyberstart is an online
challenge that can be done from “anywhere” in the Commonwealth.
There is NO age cap…anyone 16 years or older and enrolled in a
Virginia High School, Community College or University can participate at NO
COST – NO Cyber or IT experience is required!
This is a PHENOMENAL opportunity
for students from all disciplines to test their cyber acumen and
potentially (based on final scoring) be awarded monetary scholarships provided
by the SANS Institute.
the qualification window is open
between NOW and July 28th.
