“Cyber games such as capture the flag are absolutely essential to attracting talent and developing skills in cybersecurity,” said David Raymond, director, U.S. Cyber Range of Virginia Tech. “Katzcy’s Cyber Carnival, and efforts like it, are a great way to do that and the U.S. Cyber Range of Virginia Tech is thrilled to partner in this effort.”

“We are happy to partner with Katzcy Cyber Games. With the rise of cyber gaming to train and retain cyber talent, we are able to tap new talent pools traditionally excluded due to training and education costs—bringing fresh, diverse backgrounds and mindsets to the industry. Events like the Cyber Carnival further open access to the industry,” said Mari Galloway, CEO, Women’s Society of Cyberjutsu.
