The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) wants you! CSIS has created the "Cyber Security Challenge" in an attempt to lure up to 10,000 new candidates to become the next Top Guns in Cyber Security.

The Cyber Challenge consists of three competitions: CyberPatriot Defense Competition, DC3 Digital Forensics Challenge, and Netwars Capture-the-Flag Competition.

All three competitions are geared toward high school students and can be entered by either groups or individuals.

Non Americans are also eligible to compete but you won't be invited to participate in the skills development programs. Means that if you want to do it for the practice then go ahead, but don't expect to get a job in the future.

Cyber Security is big business and if you have the skills here is a perfect opportunity to show them off and have a good chance of securing a future job.
