CISA announces second annual President’s Cup Cybersecurity competition
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) announced the opening of individual and team registration for the second annual President’s Cup Cybersecurity Competition, which is open to any Federal Executive branch employee, including the Department of Defense and uniformed service members, with a knack for cybersecurity.
In an Executive Order on America’s Cybersecurity Workforce issued in May of 2019, President Trump called for an annual interagency effort to identify, challenge and reward the government’s best personnel supporting cybersecurity and cyber excellence. This competition will test participants in a range of areas from the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) Cybersecurity Workforce Framework, including cyber defense, cyber exploitation, forensics and more.
