What is NJCO?
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 National Junior Cybersecurity Olympiad (NJCO) is designed to introduce young people to the technologies and
knowledge they need to become the next generation of cyber professionals. With a certiβ€€cate 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.

Mission
Popularize the field of cybersecurity among high school and university students, organize additional training
in cybersecurity to enhance students’ knowledge and interest in a possible future profession, and stimulate the
desire to study additional technology and cybersecurity topics.

National Junior Cybersecurity Olympiad (NJCO) is opened to all Grade 7 to 13 (Secondary 1 to A-Lvls/STPM) students who are residing in Malaysia.
