National Cyber League

During 2021, the National Cyber League (ncl) provided a training platform and a competition on-line environment to improve the skills and capabilities of students from high schools, community colleges and universities around the country. As a result, the 2021 ncl spring and fall seasons continued previous seasons' overall success in scaling the experience. Ncl was able to deliver a competition event experience to a greater number of participants, exceeding 6,500 players in each season, with much improved quality relative to the previous system. An aggressive social media communication campaign engaged faculty members and introduced the use of ncl offerings in the classroom via web broadcasts led by the ncl chairman, ncl commissioner and the player ambassadors. The ncl changed its business model in the partnership with Cyber skyline in mid-2021, and asked Cyber skyline to undertake the majority of administrative effort, collection of revenues and other time-consuming tasks. In return, there is an agreement regarding sharing of gross revenues on a fixed percentage, allowing ncl to focus on its mission to support the education efforts in Cyber security.
