“When I am trying to get my students interested in applied cyber security, regardless of their background, it is initiatives like the UK Cyber Leaders Challenge that are the most successful tools I have.

This will be a great competition for my students to participate in.”

- Ciaran Martin

Professor, University of Oxford & Former CEO, NCSC

“With 20 years of university experience and 30 years of experience of this thing we now call 'cyber', I can vouch for the UK CLC format being the best experience students can get for dealing with a cyber incident without being distracted by the technicalities of the technology that hide the leadership needs and capabilities of the architects of our future policy and the realisation of that policy.

The collaboration and co-operation of the employers and national policy makers and defenders of our online freedoms runs through the competition to create an environment where no talent goes untapped.”

- Danny Dresner

Professor, University of manchester

“The UK Cyber Leaders Challenge is a valuable opportunity for our students to enhance their skills and career opportunities.

It complements our classroom education with practical experience and is uniquely positioned to equip the cybersecurity leaders of tomorrow with the confidence and experience we need them to have in order to tackle this complex field of policy and strategy.”

- Tim Stevens

reader, King's college london
