Are you a girl interested in learning more about cyber security?

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) are working hard to get more girls interested in a career in cyber security. The CyberFirst Girls Competition provides a fun but challenging environment to inspire the next generation of young women to consider a career in cyber security.
