Event overview:
The Summit will address several of the critical infrastructure sectors on what is being done to mitigate the risk and protect the security of our Nation. In addition, the Summit will provide a special dedication and awards ceremony to the winners of the U.S. Cyber Challenge. The U.S. Cyber Challenge serves as a premier program to identify, attract, recruit, train, and place the next generation of cybersecurity professionals. Top performers from different colleges and universities are offered award-winning training from top instructors on new concepts and approaches. During the cyber camps in the summer, those who qualify participate in discussions with leaders in the cyber field and teams are formed where they compete against others in the region in a "capture-the-flag" competition where the winners win scholarships and prizes. The winners from each region compete in a National CyberBowl in the fall and are acknowledged at the Cybersecurity Summit in October by representatives from the White House. The mission of this initiative is to identify and train cybersecurity experts to fill the workforce gap of cybersecurity professionals through a process of assessment, training and employment networking.
