CISA Hosts First Annual President's Cup Cybersecurity Competition
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's (CISA) first annual President’s Cup Cybersecurity Competition wrapped up on December 12, 2019. The competition began in September and drew more than 1,000 individuals and 200 teams.
After two qualifying rounds, 10 individual finalists and five team finalists came to the Washington, D.C. area for the final round at the CISA Cybersecurity Lab. The President’s Cup is designed to highlight cybersecurity talent in the federal government, and to promote careers in the field. There are currently an estimated 500,000 unfilled cybersecurity-related positions across the public and private sectors, says CISA.
