The NCL, powered by its partner Cyber Skyline, is a biannual cybersecurity competition for high school and college students consisting of hands-on, realistic, industry skill-based challenges across multiple learning domains, designed to test and build their cyber skills. More than 10,000 students from over 300 colleges and universities across the U.S. participate annually in NCL competitions.
“CompTIA, NCL and Cyber Skyline share a common mission to develop students who are passionate and well prepared for careers in cybersecurity,” said John McGlinchey, executive vice president for global certification at CompTIA. “By competing in NCL Games and pursuing CompTIA certifications, students will demonstrate to prospective employers that they have the commitment and skills to become immediate contributors to a cybersecurity team.”
