The competition consists of individual and team challenges that focus on areas in the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) Cybersecurity Workforce Framework (NICE Framework). All participants require an extensive skill set to complete; after success in two qualifying rounds, competitors participate in one final round, in person, in the Washington, DC area.
