Looking for a place to check out your skills in a safe and LEGAL environment?  Check out the Cyber Competitions Repository!  Competitions are a great way to learn about cybersecurity by applying offensive and defensive maneuvers in a competitive environment.  Join a team or compete on your own to gain access or remove vulnerabilities to competition machines.  Or build your own network and then defend it with the help of instructors along the way. There are lots of different competitions aimed at various levels of ability from beginners to seasoned experts.  Cyber competitions foster talent in potential cybersecurity professionals that might otherwise be unidentifiable through traditional academic means, and encourage mentor-led atmospheres where participants can practice and hone cybersecurity skills in a controlled, real-world environment. Learn more about cyber competitions.

Check out our list of available Cybersecurity Competitions. In the future, Cyber Competitions will be integrated into a searchable database and aligned with the National Cybersecurity Workforce Framework.
