[Cybersecurity] US Cyber Challenge: Cyber Quests Competition 2020

[Rudy Pamintuan]

Dear Professors, Teachers, and Educators;

As you may know, every Spring season for the past decade, the US Cyber Challenge® (USCC) promotes the annual Cyber Quests competition.

Cyber Quests are a series of fun but challenging on-line competitions allowing participants to demonstrate their knowledge in a variety of information security realms. Each quest features an artifact for analysis, along with a series of quiz questions. This spring's Cyber Quest will be about web application security. For instance, some quests focus on a potentially vulnerable sample web server as the artifact, challenging participants to identify its flaws using vulnerability analysis skills.

With the current pandemic, many of your students are most likely engaged in remote learning with you. We hope that the Cyber Quests competition could be integrated into your portfolio of projects for students as it would be a fun way for the students to compete while applying their knowledge to real world scenarios. Proof of their participation is easy to establish simply by students sharing captured screenshots of their score while ranking is visible to all who participate. You can also encourage students to go through the challenges more than once, in order to improve their scores.

The best part is that the competition is FREE to all!

Cyber Quests is open until April 20, 2020. Registered users will each have three attempts to take the quests.
