Partner Spotlight: WiCyS

Partner Spotlight: WiCyS (Women in Cybersecurity) The NCL is proud to support and collaborate with organizations within the cyber community and WiCyS (Women in Cybersecurity) is an incredible resource for our NCL Community. The WiCyS mission “to help build a strong gender-diverse cybersecurity workforce by facilitating recruitment, retention and advancement for women in the field” is a mission statement that the NCL helps support by our Strategic Partnership commitment since 2021.

Annually, WiCyS hosts a public conference for its members, an event that includes students, faculty, and industry professionals from all over the world. We are thrilled to be a part of this incredible event by hosting the NCL @ WiCyS Capture the Flag competition. Participants will compete March 16 & 17 in a virtual capture the flag competition, taking on realistic, industry skill-based challenges, designed to test and build students’ hands-on cybersecurity skills. Prizes will be awarded to top players and students, and non-students are welcome to participate. This is a great way for attendees to challenge themselves, compete with other cyber-enthusiasts and learn some awesome skills!

Our community connections are an integral part of advancing students to entry level cyber careers, and we are dedicated to supporting and encouraging our community through creative partnerships and aligning with like-minded organizations. Thank you, WiCyS, for your student support; we look forward to continuing our partnership collaboration!
