NCX was established to train and reinforce cyber skills of the US Service Academy cadets and midshipmen, Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) and Senior Military College (SMC) cadets and students. It is designed to develop and test cybersecurity skills, teamwork, planning, communication, and decision-making. Students gain a deeper understanding of current threat environments and learn new techniques and tools. You may send questions to CAE-NCX@NSA.gov
