Embarking on the path to cybersecurity prowess isn't a swift journey—it demands dedication, guidance, and a mindset primed for innovation. The National Junior Cybersecurity Olympiad (NJCO) is a package of training and contest experience crafted to instill foundational skills in students by imparting to them the basic knowledge in Cybersecurity. Cybersecurity is a set of knowledge and skills that involves understanding various aspects of digital security to protect systems, networks, and data from unauthorized access, attacks, and breaches.

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, flexibility is key to effective learning. That's why NJCO offers a training approach tailored to secondary level school students: pre-recorded video modules for self-paced study with practice MCQs. With the pre-recorded video modules, students have the freedom to learn at their own pace, anytime, anywhere. Students can delve into each topic at their own speed. The training materials and contest questions are prepared by the National Cybersecurity R&D Lab (NCL), and the Centre for Nurturing Computing Excellence (CeNCE), both hosted at the School of Computing, National University of Singapore.
