The program will enhance participant&#8217;s cybersecurity skills, teamwork, planning, communication, and decision-making. The challenge will occur virtually from April 8-10, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NCX is structured to provide both predictable and unexpected scenarios that ensure agility against the backdrop of an ever-evolving cyber landscape.
