OCRI’s model of cyber education and workforce development unites higher education, K–12 schools, industry leaders, and government partners to ensure that all Ohio students have equitable access to cyber training and clear pathways into cybersecurity careers. “Through the Ohio Cyber Range Institute, we’re able to connect every region of the state and support initiatives like our statewide Capture The Flag competition — helping strengthen and expand Ohio’s cybersecurity workforce,” said Bekah Michael, Executive Staff Director of OCRI.
During the competition, students will practice offensive and defensive cybersecurity techniques using OCRI’s Ohio Cyber Range platform. Challenges include digital forensics, encryption and password cracking, network traffic analysis, vulnerability identification, and reverse engineering. Prizes and certificates will be awarded for standout performance, and lunch and snacks will be provided at hosting locations.
This event promotes teamwork, problem-solving, and hands-on experience in ethical hacking through real-world cybersecurity challenges.
