CyberPatriot is a national cyber defense competition that is designed to give secondary students hands-on exposure to the field of computer or information technology security. In every event, teams are subjected to a series of challenges. The more vulnerabilities a team can spot and fix, the more points it will earn. CyberPatriot is not a \u201chacking\u201d competition. It teaches only defensive means of fixing vulnerabilities and hardening computer systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
