084. CyberFirst Girls: Creating a Diverse Talent Pool

The Hacked Off podcast is back! In this episode, we sit down with Sarah and Sian from the NCSC's CyberFirst initiative to talk about the CyberFirst Girls competition. The National Cyber Security Centre is committed to developing the UK's next generation of IT professionals and has a number of fantastic initiatives designed to introduce 11 – 17 year olds to the fast-paced world of cybersecurity. Because we need the broadest mix of minds to tackle the security threats of tomorrow, and the NCSC’s CyberFirst Girls competition is all about developing that diverse talent pool. The competition is a girls-only event for 12-13 year olds who may be considering a future in cyber, and includes lots of fun activities that will test their problem solving skills to reveal if they have the aptitude required for a career in this exciting industry.
