Education

Mission and goals

Faced with evolving threats and adaptive attackers, CTF is keeping the future in mind and training the next generation of cybersecurity professionals.

The center takes a hands-on approach to education, which includes encouraging students to participate in capture-the-flag competitions, hosting internship and apprenticeship opportunities, and collaborating with those already in the field through workshops to upskill their abilities
