Compete. Secure. Achieve.
A local take on a global problem.
Sisler Cyber Showdown (SCS) is an in-house cyber defence competition, built and ran entirely by Cyber Academy students and staff. Using the CyberPatriot format, competitors will find and fix vulnerabilities in a variety of operating systems and networks throughout two rounds of competition. The top five teams achieving the highest scores in the first two rounds will advance to the Grand Finals round and vie for a chance at exclusive prizes and the title of SCS Grand Champion!
Now in it's debut season, SCS provides students an opportunity to be assessed in a grassroots, centralized environment where useful statistics and feedback can be generated and used to improve student's understanding of their abilities and develop Cyber Academy programming.
