What is IJCO?
Cybersecurity is no longer a geek hobby but a global safety concern. With the rapid digitalization of the world in recent years, people, companies, and governments have become targets of a new threat: cyber attacks.
In 2023, the FBI reported receiving 880,418 complaints of Internet scams, which caused a loss of US$ 37.5
billion. Faced with this scenario, companies and governments worldwide urgently seek professionals capable of protecting their systems from anonymous international attackers.
The International Junior Cybersecurity Olympiad (IJCO) is designed to introduce young people to the technologies and knowledge they need to become the next generation of cyber professionals. With a certificate accredited by the National Cybersecurity R&D Lab (NCL) and the Centre for Nurturing Computing Excellence (CeNCE), both hosted at the School of Computing, NUS. The NJCO’s outstanding students will have the recognition to pursue their futures at the world’s best universities.
