CyberEDU started in the spring of 2020 as a “gym” for the worldwide hacker community: a place where you could go to hone your existing cybersecurity skill set, or learn new skills. We identified the need for a practice and learning space initially through feedback from attendees of our popular cybersecurity competitions (the DefCamp Hacking Village). Participants wanted us to keep the challenges up and running past the competition end, so that they could have more time to find the solutions. CyberEDU’s mission is to increase and improve cybersecurity skills worldwide, by providing a space for people to learn, and practice cybersecurity skills using real-world inspired exercises and challenges.
