David Zeichick, NCL Commissioner

Commissioner’s Welcome

As the vibrant hues of spring give way to the warmth of summer, we find ourselves at the conclusion of yet another exhilarating season of the NCL Competition. This season we had 8,017 students compete; each competitor and team have woven their own unforgettable tale of dedication, teamwork, and perseverance. In every code cracked and vulnerability exposed, we find moments of growth, collaboration, and empowerment that propel us forward on our mission to protect and defend.

In the spirit of camaraderie and achievement, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to every member of our National Cyber League family - students, coaches, supporters, and sponsors alike. Your unwavering commitment and passion have been the driving force behind every milestone reached and every victory secured.

This special edition of The Decrypted Post, we'll be sharing highlights, reflections, and current NCL initiatives. Together, let's continue to inspire, uplift, and push the boundaries of what we can achieve.

As we look ahead to the summer months, filled with new opportunities and fresh challenges, let's carry forward the spirit of collaboration and continuous learning that defines our cybersecurity community. Together, let's remain vigilant, proactive, and united in our commitment to securing the digital frontier.

Here's to a season filled with unforgettable moments, and endless possibilities!
