Student Cybersecurity Opportunities through CyberStart and Cyber FastTrack
Come learn about Cyber FastTrack, an opportunity to earn scholarships and accelerate your career in cybersecurity, and gain access to free training materials.
The CyberStart game is created by experts at the SANS Institute. It’s a gamified learning platform comprised of over 200 interactive challenges that teach students about cryptography, web exploitation, social engineering, steganography, XSS, SQL injection, python, and much more. Beginners with no experience can use CyberStart to build up their skills from scratch, while more experienced students can further hone their craft through the advanced levels.
CYBER FAST TRACK and the NATIONAL CYBER SCHOLARSHIP COMPETITION
The game also helps prepare players for the National Cyber Scholarship Competition with the chance to win one of 400 $1,000 cash scholarships, up to $21,000 of certified professional cybersecurity training, and make resumes more desirable for employers.

“The CyberStart Game is an amazing gateway into cybersecurity. I, myself, discovered cybersecurity through the CyberStart Game, and it’s what inspired me to enter this field. It’s exciting to have the chance to share the CyberStart Game with other college students who may not have gotten to play it during high school in Girls Go Cyberstart or Cyberstart America!”
